Art Exploration

Grade Level
PreK - 12th Grade

Art connects cultures around the world, and the American Swedish Historical Museum is a perfect place to explore the world of art. The museum was built in 1926 and features 12 galleries highlighting traditional and modern artistic Scandinavian styles. Our Art Exploration program is tailored to students at any level. Youngest children will get an introduction to art through activities in galleries, while older students can dig deeper into art concepts and get more background on Scandinavian artists featured in our gallery. At the conclusion of the program children will get to make their own traditional Swedish folk art to take home!  Your group will have exclusive access to the galleries and view one of a kind artworks that link culture and history. From towering ceiling murals to sculpture, glass works, and paintings, ASHM has it all!
