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.
