The American Swedish Institute is offering FREE admission on four Wednesdays throughout February from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The ASI hopes to increase public and neighborhood access to its new 2017 Migration, Identity and Belonging exhibition - Where the Children Sleep, Swede Hollow, The Stories They Told, Green Card Voices and Cows Can Dream.

Bruce Karstadt, ASI President/CEO, commented, “As we enter 2017 in a world of changing political and social conditions, I wish to reaffirm the vision that inspires the American Swedish Institute today and historically, which is to be a gathering place for all people to connect their pasts to a shared future and to understand their heritage in relationship to others. The founders of our museum came to this country as Swedish immigrants. Nearly every person I know has an immigrant story as part of their family narrative. Through exhibitions and programs linked to our 2017 theme of Migration, Identity and Belonging, we provide a place for conversations and dialogue which fuse our past with today’s local and global context.”
