A Night at the Swedish Museum

This event is being held in-person and is open to international and globally-minded students. This event is now AT CAPACITY. Please contact Jo Mattos at [email protected] with questions.

By registering for the second portion of the event, students will meet the group at 6:30 pm to embark on a self-guided tour of the Turnblad Mansion and explore the new holiday exhibition Tomte: The Gnome, the Myth, the Legend. They will discover the world of Tomte—the mythical guardian of Scandinavian homesteads—and participate in a team photo contest for a chance to win their own Tomte gnome. Before leaving, students can enjoy a sweet taste of Sweden with traditional Anna’s Swedish thin cookies.
