The American Swedish Historical Museum is one of Philadelphia’s hidden gems. It is in the lush surroundings of FDR Park. Its design is from a 17th-century manor house.

When you book the venue for your event, you'll have access to all the public spaces in the museum. Your guests will enjoy browsing our fantastic galleries. They feature original period paintings, furniture, and textiles.

Also, there is a seasonal tent included May-October. The tent has lighting, fans, heaters, and clear, retractable sides. That way, you and your loved ones can dine and dance while enjoying the beauty of the outdoor setting. The American Swedish Historical Museum can host up to 250 guests.

The American Swedish Historical Museum is the perfect venue for every special occasion. It features easy access, free parking, and convenient proximity to Center City.

Reviews

My fiancé and I looked at many places in Philadelphia for our wedding. We wanted something unique, classy but on a budget. From the minute that we meet with Mandy on our site tour of the American Swedish Historical Museum we were hooked. It's in the middle of FDR Park so you have great outdoor scenery and the outdoor space at the museum is also beautiful, many places for photos! Inside is a beautiful staircase too! I can't say enough good things about the place and Mandy, she is the best. This place is a MUST see if you are looking at venues for your wedding.
