The Collection
The NONAM is dedicated to the arts and cultures of the indigenous peoples of Canada and the United States. Without false romanticism it offers attrac- tive approaches for visitors of all ages to learn about First Nations, Native Americans and Inuit.
In the permanent exhibit, an unexpected museum
landscape refers to the diverse living conditions
of North American aboriginal cultures. With its
extraordinary architecture, its colorful displays and
unusual material, NONAM guides its visitors through
a sensual course which reflects cultural diversity
as well as the climatic and cultural distinctions of
the continent.
Soundscape
The sounding Museum
In the sound chamber, visitors can acoustically
immerse themselves into contemporary soundscapes.
They take the listeners on journeys into known and
unknown spaces to experience new ways of «getting
in touch» with other cultures.
