Nordic folk culture
- Midsummer redirects here. For white nights see Midnight sun. For Midsummer celebration in other regions, see the relevant country articles.
The Nordic countries are famous for their folk culture, including expressions such as music and dance, crafts, farming, folk architecture, costumes, fairytales, folklore and festivals. The Nordic countries were forerunners in creation of open-air museums to commemorate the rural cultural expressions.
UnderstandWhile the folk is synonym to all people and culture could include more or less all human customs, folk culture is usually defined as arts and lifestyle of peasants of yore.
