After beating Switzerland 1-0, Sweden advances to the World Cup quarter finals for the first time in 24 years! 

We are super excited for the upcoming Sweden vs. England game on Saturday, July 7, and we invite everyone to watch it with us on our big screen projector in the Josef Frank Gallery! The museum will open at 9am, and the game starts at 10am. Fika (Swedish pancakes and cinnamon bread) will be available for purchase.

Tickets are included with general museum admission, no pre-registration required.

We are excited to announce our plans to visit Seattle September 20-September 24. The trip will include a visit and tour of the new Nordic Museum, with Director Eric Nelson, lunch at their new Café Freya, a tour of the Ballard Locks, a visit to a Swedish bakery and dinner at the Swedish Club.

Fall is right around the corner and with it comes harvest time! Swedes love fresh fruit and this month toddlers will get a hands on experience picking their own. Join us as we read Jamberry by Bruce Degen, pick real apples from our heritage Rambo apple trees, practice counting lingonberries, and drink apple and lingonberry juice!

Get a taste of Swedish summer at our annual Crayfish Party, where plates will be piled high with crayfish, cooked Swedish-style in salted water with lots of dill. The meal is accompanied by savory cheese pie, meatballs, crisp bread, dill potatoes, salad, aquavit and dessert. Once again, dinner will be served outside under our beautiful lighted and decorated tent, overlooking beautiful FDR Park. So come eat, drink and make merry to mark the close of summer in Swedish style!
