New Nordic Cuisine is a movement that started in the Nordic countries in the early 2000s and has since grown into an international phenomenon.

With its interpretations of wild nature, the Nordic climate, local foodstuffs and culinary traditions, the movement spawned a distinctive aesthetic that was expressed in meals, tableware and restaurant interiors. Locally-sourced natural materials, animal skins and untreated wood, handmade ceramics and the use of wild vegetation as raw ingredients and for decoration all featured prominently.
A specially commissioned pavilion will be constructed for the exhibition on the square outside of the museum. There will be an extensive programme of events throughout the exhibition period, including design workshops, foraging trips and meals prepared by celebrated chefs.
