The National Museums of World Culture was established in 1999 as the result of a national initiative to link the international museum collections in Sweden to the globalization process. The organization consists of four museums; The Museum Ethnography, the Museum of Far-Eastern Antiquities, the Museum of Mediterranean and Near-Eastern Antiquities and the Museum of World Culture. Together we host about 400.000 objects from all over the world including China, Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia in Archaeological, Ethnographical and Art Historical collections.
