American Swedish Historical Museum - Philadelphia, PA - History Museums on Waymarking.com

From (visit link) :
The American Swedish Historical Museum, located in FDR Park in South Philadelphia near the Sports Complex at 1900 Pattison Avenue, is dedicated to preserving and promoting the contributions of Swedes and Swedish-Americans in the United States.

The Museum has 12 permanent galleries, a changing exhibition gallery, and a library.

The building's design is based on Eriksberg, a 17th-century manor house in Södermanland, Sweden. The architect, John Nydén, a Swedish-American from Chicago, combined Swedish and American elements by modeling the exterior arcades on those of Mount Vernon. The copper cupola is a copy of the one atop Stockholm's City Hall.
