Take a break from your day, whether at home or work, to be immersed in a Scandinavian Cultural experience. This month we will be visiting the Dalarna Museum in Falun Sweden, the regional home of the iconic Dala Horse. Join us as we dig into the history of the area and the museum's vast collection of textiles, furniture, and folk art.

The program is one hour and is presented over Zoom. $5 for museum members and $10 for nonmembers. Registration is required. 

ASHM members are welcome to join us for our in-person annual meeting where we will present this year's Amandus Johnson Volunteer Service Award to Görel Bengtzon and Roman Hrycushko. Attendees are invited to stay for a reception and the dedication of ASHM's new piano in memory of Virginia Swedberg. This will also be a great chance to view the Radically Marimekko exhibition before it closes. 

Come along to meet Pippi Longstocking, Sweden's famous children's book character created by Astrid Lindgren. Families will learn to be thing-finders like Pippi and visit Villa Villekulla in our playroom.

Toddler Time is free for members and $5 for non-member children.

Get a taste of Swedish summer at our annual Crayfish Party! Enjoy a buffet of crayfish and Swedish meatballs, along with potatoes, cheese pie, cucumber and beet salads, desserts, and a glass of aquavit, all outside under our beautifully decorated tent. $50 for ASHM and SACC Philadelphia members and $60 for non-members. Register online by August 14th.

*Update: Due to the projected heat in Philadelphia the concert has been moved into the air-conditioned Museum. 

Prepare yourself for an intimate musical evening with Sofia Talvik. Unmistakably Nordic in flavor, Sofia Talvik somehow still conforms to American interpretations of her own original music, a North Sea siren blending sparkle and melancholy, creating a special niche of folk music. Her delicate songs are performed in a warm way, showing off Sofia’s angelic voice enhanced only by a tasteful mix of harmonies and acoustic guitar.
