Welcome to the new website dedicated to the Swedish American Museum!
This world famous museum is located in Swedesburg, Iowa and publishes a newsletter every January, April, July and October.
Each year hundreds of people from around the world visit the museum and enjoy a "bit of Sweden" and a cup of coffee. The Museum and Gift Shop are open 9AM to 4PM daily (except Wednesdays and Sundays). They are closed New Years, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
