Opened in 2004 in a striking glass and steel building designed by Bjarke Ingels and White Arkitekter, the Museum of World Culture (Världskulturmuseet) takes a different approach from the dusty ethnographic collections found elsewhere. Rather than presenting cultures as static exhibits, it focuses on contemporary issues — migration, identity, human rights, and global connections — alongside objects from around the world.
The permanent collection draws on the National Museums of World Culture's holdings, but the temporary exhibitions tend to generate more discussion. It's a genuinely thought-provoking place, and the building itself is worth looking at: the central atrium rises five floors with a glass wall overlooking Korsvägen.
