The National Museums of World Culture coordinates the Swedish network of the Anna Lindh Foundation and it consists of four museums: the Museum of Ethnography, the Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities and the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm, along with the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg. The organization is assigned by the Swedish Government the task of exhibiting culture of the world and bringing it to life. The task also includes the promotion of interdisciplinary knowledge formation and new ways of meeting the public. The National Museums of World Culture is a link in the nationwide initiative aimed at adapting the collections of historical and ethnographic museums to the globalization process. World culture is not only about communication, reciprocity, and interdependence, but the specificity, concretion and uniqueness of each and every individual.

The Swedish network consists of 70 organizations. Most of these institutions work in the areas of education, youth, arts, heritage, environment, democracy, international relations and human rights.
