The Museum of Ethnography (
Among the oldest collections at the museum are objects gathered in the Swedish colony
In 1988, the museum's name changed to Folkens Museum, but was changed back in 2001, two years after the National Museums of World Culture were formed.
In 2007, after several years of negotiation, the museum agreed to return a totem pole to the Haisla Nation, from which it has been taken in 1929.[3][4] The Haisla nation gave the museum a contemporary replica of the pole, currently on display outside the museum's entrance. The museum has also returned a number of other objects to their country of origin.[5] All current artifacts in the museum are considered national property and so the museum has a right and a responsibility to display and preserve these artifacts.[6]
The museum is expanding on its collection with the addition of a digital exhibition.[7] This exhibition explores the role and significance of birds in material culture, society and somolog.[8]
