History

Artur Hazelius founded the museum and began collecting objects in 1872 to preserve folk culture. Its original plan called for four wings around a courtyard, but funding and time reduced the project.

1873The first collection opened on Drottninggatan as the Scandinavian Ethnographic Collection.
1880The collection took the name Nordic Museum and became a foundation of the Swedish people.
1888Construction began on the present building, designed by Isak Gustaf Clason.
1897The north wing was ready for the art and industry exhibition on Djurgården.
1907The full museum building was inaugurated.
