Information

"In dialogue with the surrounding world and through emotional and intellectual experiences the Museum of World Culture aims to be a meeting place that will make people feel at home across borders, build trust and take responsibility together for a shared global future, in a world in constant change." The Museum of World Culture is one out of four museums in a museum organisation named the National Museums of World Culture. As such it is part of a national initiative to link the collections of historical and ethnographic museums to the globalisation process. Museums have often viewed various cultures through the prism of geographical and regional influences. These days, they are also looking at the global community that arises from such affinities as age, education and gender. The museum interprets the concept of "world culture" in a dynamic and open-ended manner. On the one hand, various cultures are incorporating impulses from each other and becoming more alike. On the other hand, local, national, ethnic and gender differences are shaping much of that process. World culture is not only about communication, reciprocity, and interdependence, but the specificity, concretion and uniqueness of each and every individual. The museum collection The restaurant
