Unless you were born and raised in Minnesota, there’s a good chance you do not know that a large portion of the state’s heritage is rich with Norwegian and Scandinavian culture. Many Minnesotans have ancestors that descended from these northerly nations, and even a few from Vikings themselves. If you visit Minnesota, your visit is not complete unless you visit a Scandinavian store in Minneapolis. Here’s what you might find.
Scandinavian Furniture
Modern and contemporary Scandinavian furniture still retains some of its Old World look and appeal without being too ancient or rustic-looking. Much of it is wood or engineered wood, but many pieces are also metal in keeping with the bronze or steel ages of the history of the Scandinavians. You may find a piece you really like and either take it home with you or have it shipped to your house.
Scandinavian Art
To complete the look of any room, there is plenty of Scandinavian art. It comes in the form of paintings, vases, bowls, metal sculptures, etc.. Even if you don’t find something else you like, the art is quite compelling.
The Clearance Center
Everyone loves a good deal, including Scandinavians. For that reason, a Scandinavian store in Minneapolis is bound to have a clearance center. Don’t skip it because you might be pleasantly surprised at what you find there. From sofas to TV cabinets, the prices are slashed by a third or more off the original cost. Take a look online to see what else the store has.
