The Museum of World Culture is rooted in and committed to the values of cultural pluralism and cultural democracy. Through exhibitions and programs it celebrates the potential enrichment and dynamics of cultural diversity in an increasingly interdependent world, but explores also the urgent and challenging conflicts and dilemmas of uneven distribution of wealth and welfare, of migration, of diasporas. The museum will be a place for dialogue, where multiple voices can be heard and also controversial topics can be raised – an arena for people to feel at home across borders. Jette Sandahl is the Director of the museum. She has a background in psychology from the Danish academic world and has previously been associated with The Museum of Women in Århus and The National Museum of Denmark.
