Thank you for everything, King Harald

28 August 2026

Museum Nord endorses the statement from the Norwegian Museum Association through Chairman of the Board, Ole Aastad Bråten and Secretary General, Hanne K. Jakhelln.

It is with great sadness that we have received the news of His Majesty King Harald V’s passing.

We remember the King as a warm, inclusive and unifying people’s king, who has taken care of the Norwegian identity and cultural heritage in a very good way.

The Norwegian Museum Association thanks for the enormous interest in Norwegian museums, all the openings the King has foreseen and the museums that The King has visited. We have greatly appreciated that.

Our thoughts go to Her Majesty The Queen, the royal family and the entire Norwegian people.

Director, Museum Nord
Geir Are Johansen
