Celebrate 100 Years of History, Culture, and Community!
To honor this extraordinary occasion, we invite you to step into an unforgettable evening at the Centennial Gala, a once-in-a-century celebration that promises elegance, inspiration, and lasting memories. Held within the Museum’s iconic setting, the evening will bring together distinguished guests, patrons, and partners for a program that reflects on the past while looking boldly toward the future.
Join us for a free virtual tour of Indivisible: Stories of Strength, an exhibition presented in collaboration with SEAMAAC that explores identity, culture, and belonging among Native and immigrant Philadelphians.
Introduce your little ones to Swedish Easter traditions. Children can make Swedish Easter crafts, dress up as Swedish Easter witches, enjoy face painting, and take part in an egg hunt.
Members and kids under 2 are free, $15 adults, $10 seniors/students, $5 kids 2-12. Pay at the door.
Join ASHM and SEAMAAC for a community celebration on the closing day of the Indivisible exhibition. Learn about art and culture through family-friendly art and nature activities hosted by SEAMAAC teaching artists including a collaborative mosaic project and a seed planting and pot painting activity. Food and beverage vendors will also be available.
Help us plan with your RSVP.
Break out your bell-bottoms and platform shoes! There's no better place to celebrate the iconic music of ABBA than the American Swedish Historical Museum. Philadelphia's own DJ Robert Drake will spin the classics as everyone lets out their inner Dancing Queen.

Whatever the weather is in Sweden or Philadelphia, kids worldwide experience the forces of nature. Join us this month to learn how the weather differs across the globe as we read a weather story and try out different weather activities around the Museum!
