American Swedish Historical Museum, built in 1926 in Franklin D. Roosevelt Park, invites visitors to explore Scandinavian cultural identity through twelve exhibition galleries covering the New Sweden Colony, Swedish immigration, women's history, and craft arts. During a visit, guests step inside a recreated nineteenth-century farm house, view an art deco lounge setting, and encounter contemporary Swedish design alongside the John Ericsson Solar Model and other collection highlights. The museum shop offers Scandinavian textiles, Dala horses, imported foods, jewelry, and handmade items by artisans. Educational programs include Swedish cooking classes and language classes for adults, families, and school groups. A suit for anyone interested in Swedish heritage and American history, a typical visit involves browsing galleries and the museum shop at the South Philadelphia location. Children under five receive free admission, AAA members save one dollar on admission, and IKEA Family members receive buy-one-get-one-free admission. The museum also offers free admission on the second Sunday of each month. Tickets are sold online at americanswedish.org.
