Swedish American Museum, Cultural museum in Andersonville, Chicago, US.

The Swedish American Museum displays artifacts, photographs, and documents that tell the story of Swedish immigrants who settled in the Chicago area.

Founded in 1976, this institution preserves the narratives of Swedish families who arrived in Chicago during the mass immigration wave of the late 1800s.

The museum maintains the Nordic Family Genealogy Center where visitors research their Swedish ancestry with assistance from trained genealogy specialists.

Located at 5211 North Clark Street, the museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and weekends from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The Brunk Children's Museum section allows young visitors to experience immigration through hands-on activities like butter churning and trunk packing.
