American Swedish Historical Museum
The ASHM in South Philadelphia is the oldest Swedish Museum in the United
States. Founded in 1926, the Museum has been dedicated to preserving and
promoting Swedish and Swedish-American cultural heritage and traditions
for nearly 80 years. The Museum is a place where Swedes, Swedish-Americans,
and people of all nationalities who appreciate Swedish contributions to
history, art, architecture, music, science and technology can come together.
The beautiful Museum building was designed by the Swedish-American architect
John Nyden. The Museum today consists of 12 permanent galleries, one changing
exhibition gallery, and a library. Three of the galleries are devoted to
the history of the New Sweden Colony, established in the Delaware Valley
in 1638.
A Swedish farm-house interior, or stuga, honors the large wave of Swedish
immigration during the second half of the 19th century completes the collection.
