National Nordic Museum

Very nice building. Attended a private event. It isn't huge and I wouldn't say it is especially kid friendly. One of the smaller museums I've been to, but we'll spaced exhibits, informative, and makes connections to northwest history. Cool projector area with screen, feels like you're in a forest.

Fabulous photography exhibition here in the Osho gallery. Entirely worth the general ticket price just for that, great museum. I mean, fish skin shoes with hand knitted insoles, yes please! Very good shop too. Catch the 40 bus to lovely Ballard.

I spent like 2 hours here and found it is interesting. Even though the museum is not big (only like 4 to 5 exhibition hall), I had a good time here. It helps to give you a big picture about Nordic history.

We went on the first Thursday of the month, so it was free. The parking was $2 an hour. It's clean and minimalistic like an Ikea inside. I liked the carvings and the rune stone. But the videos didn't hold my attention.

Very interesting museum of Scandinavian-American history. A gem in Seattle. The gift shop is nice too. Where else can you buy licorice sea salt from Iceland? Check out the surrounding Ballard neighborhood for quirky shops and restaurants.
