  Such a fun visit. So worth it just popping in, quickly going through the mansion that also includes many local artist exhibits. Eat a swedish meal and a lovely cafeteria. I would recommend this visit.  more »

  This place is such a gem, all these years in MN and I cant believe I hadn't visited this place. The institute focuses on Swedish heritage in any art form, while showcasing the Turnblad mansion and its rich historical attribution. On the same day, I ate traditional Swedish desserts with coffee, went inside a solar egg sauna designed by a Swedish engineer, and walked through a magnificent mansion that belonged to a wealthy Swedish family while learning about its history, all in one place.

  Fantastic venue for the fan of beautifully constructed and decorated homes. The current photography exhibit is a tremendous bonus. A real gem for anyone, Swedish or not.
