American Swedish Institute
The American Swedish Institute is a stunning stone mansion on Minneapolis’s south side. Once a private residence, it’s now a museum and cultural center charged with promoting Scandinavian culture in Minneapolis-St. Paul and preserving connections with the old country.
The adjacent Nelson Cultural Center hosts frequent, free musical and spoken word performances and readings from Scandinavian artists, while Fika is a renowned (and surprisingly affordable) small-plates restaurant. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students.
