Nordamerika Native Museum NONAM

Follow organizer

NONAM is one of the few museums in Europe dedicated exclusively to the indigenous cultures of North America - First Nations, Métis and Inuit in Canada, and American Indians and Alaska Natives in the USA. The museum promotes understanding of the past, present and future of Indigenous nations, their cultural diversity and diverse art forms. It is committed to a multi-voiced engagement with stereotypical perceptions and promotes dialogue and encounters with Indigenous people of different cultures and spheres of activity.

We would like to ensure that all visitors have a pleasant stay. All exhibition areas are generally accessible by wheelchair, but aids (ramp) and/or accompaniment (lift) are required. For organisational reasons, we therefore ask you to book visits with wheelchairs and visits by groups with disabilities in advance. Thank you for your understanding.
