Vision and Mission

A Museum of world cultures increases global understanding

We want to increase intercultural understanding and dialogue. We encourage encounters and use our collections, exhibitions, and projects to show what it means to be human in a global world. Openness, caring, and responsibility form the basis of our values.

Our vision is to build a culturally and socially sustainable Finland and world. Together with our partners, we want to create a space that transcends the museum walls, where people can reflect on ways of living, knowing, and surviving in this world, and a community where everyone is welcome.
