    This museum is just a short walk away from the Sports Complex and is housed in FDR Park, an expansive city park outfitted with a lake and all. The building is beautiful inside and out.

    The museum is divided into several themed rooms that each showcase an achievement of Swedish Americans. I especially liked the Golden Map room and the New Sweden gallery. There are also rooms dedicated to noteworthy Swedes that influenced aspects of American life.

    The museum is less about Sweden and more about Swedes in America. It is clean, the architecture is beautiful, and it’s surprisingly modern! Check it out of you have a few hours to spare! It’s small in a way, but it still took me over two and a half hours. But then again, I wasn’t in a rush.

    A true gem in south Philadelphia with artifacts ranging from the Vikings to Scandinavian modern design. Located in a beautiful park with probably the easiest parking of any museum in Philadelphia.

    It's always refreshing to relax outdoors in nature. It's a little slice of nature, right here in South Philadelphia.
