The mission of the House of Norway is to share its members' Norwegian heritage and the colorful history and rich culture, customs and traditions with each other and with visitors from around the world. Artifacts, artworks and curios are on display at the House, and friendly hosts will tell you all about them. So, stop by and visit, enjoy some refreshments, and learn more about Norway and the Norwegians. The House of Norway is located on the Prado in lovely Balboa Park within walking distance of The San Diego Zoo and the many museums and other attractions in the park.
