The oldest Swedish-American museum in the US was founded in 1926. Its handsome building, designed by Swedish-American architect John Nydén, is partly modeled after a 17th-century Swedish manor house, and contains 12 gorgeous exhibition galleries with a fascinating set of items. A highlight is the painted ceiling and wall murals in the Grand Hall by Christian von Schneidau.
