Embassy Joins "Around the World" Tour

For the first time ever, the Norwegian Embassy in Washington opened its doors for Passport DC's Around the World Embassy Tour.

The event took place on Saturday, May 6. Visitors were invited to step inside the Embassy's new building, which was completed in the fall of 2021, and walk around the garden.

A variety of activities awaited, including viewing Norwegian artwork, sampling waffles and knekkebrød, watching a rosemaling demonstration, participating in a Norwegian language class, and more. Free tickets to Norway were raffled off to a lucky winner. In total, more than 4,500 people stopped by to enjoy the day.

We thank all of our volunteers and visitors for a wonderful event!
