Honor the Journey, Embrace New Horizons

Wednesday | June 18, 2025

Midtsommer has long been a time of celebration—a perfect moment to honor the centuries of Norwegians who crossed vast distances, navigating with the stars towards a brighter future.

Today, that same spirit of exploration lives on as Norway House and Minnesota—the North Star State—continue to shape the future of the United States and Norway. We invite you to celebrate with us and support our mission, as we chart the course towards New Horizons.

A Legacy of Leadership,
Charting New Horizons

Norway House is where culture, collaboration, and innovation meet. With King Harald V as our Royal Patron and a grand expansion opened by Queen Sonja, we are a recognized bridge between Norway, the United States, and the wider world.

From hosting Norwegian and U.S. leaders to fostering cultural dialogue across the Nordic world and beyond, we create opportunities for new and lasting connections. Through programs like our classes, BARN, and MPI, we ensure that Norwegian heritage is not only preserved but continues to engage, lead, and evolve with the world.
