Upcoming Projects at the Vesterheim

DRC Sponsor: Kim Bonnet

Chris Johnson, President and CEO of Vesterheim, will come and speak about the upcoming projects at Vesterheim. Vesterheim is the National Norwegian-American Museum and Folk Art School, with over 33,000 artifacts, 12 historic buildings, and a library and archives. This treasure showcases the most extensive collection of Norwegian-American artifacts in the world.

Vesterheim’s exhibitions explore the diversity of American immigration through the lens of the Norwegian-American experience and highlight the best in historic and contemporary Norwegian folk and fine arts. USA Today named Vesterheim one of “ten great places in the nation to admire American folk art.” But you don’t have to be Norwegian-American to enjoy all the beauty and wonder Vesterheim has to offer. The museum invites you to explore the ongoing story of all immigrants to the United States. Vesterheim welcomes you and encourages you to enjoy the objects and exhibitions through your own lens, your own story.
