Join us at ASHM for an egg-citing Swedish Easter Celebration THIS Sunday, March 29th, from 2:00–4:00 PM!

Virtual Swedish Language Class

Learning a new language is a fun and exciting challenge. The shelter in place orders during the first half of the year left a lot of people with spare time to learn new skills. If learning to speak Swedish is on your list, then joining our new online Swedish Language program may be the perfect option for you! Whether you are brand new to Swedish, have some experience and want to learn more, or you are looking for conversation partners, there is a class option tailored to your level.

SmörgåsBeer in Your Backyard!

Summer is the perfect time to experience Scandinavian culture by trying new drinks with friends in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Each July, the American Swedish Historical Museum hosts SmörgåsBeer, which brings people together to experience local and international beers and enjoy Scandinavian food. This year COVID-19 has changed the way we can gather, but not what we enjoy.                                                               

Virtual Book Talk with the Author Hal Taylor about "Before Penn"

If you're looking for a book to read in quarantine, we might have one for you! ASHM is hosting a Zoom Q/A with Hal Taylor, author and illustrator of 'Before Penn: An Illustrated History of The Delaware River Colonies", on Thursday, May 21st at 7pm. The book includes dozens of detailed illustrations of Swedish, Dutch, and English settlers, sailors, and soldiers here on the Delaware. 

Virtual Toddler Time - Exploring New Nordic Cuisine

Join the ASHM for our first virtual Toddler Time program exploring traditional Swedish food from a child's perspective in our new exhibit New Nordic Cuisine. We will read the story Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka Go To Market by Maj Lindman and visit the exhibit. Experience Swedish food at home by following the recipe for Swedish pancakes with lingonberry jam. You can also learn how to make your own herb garden using recycled materials. 

Fall Educational Walk and Talk on Foraging with Lynn Landes

Seasonality, sustainability, and local ingredients are the cornerstones of New Nordic Cuisine. What ingredients are more local than those found in your backyard? Join us for a fall educational walk-and-talk on foraging around the Museum in FDR Park! This walk will be led by expert forager, Lynn Landes. Lynn is the founder of The Wild Foodies of Philly, a 4900+ member meetup, and publisher of Wildfoodies.org, an educational website on foraging around Philadelphia. The experience includes admission to the Museum.
