The tickets are now sold out.

This year’s gala aspires to provide a new experience to enliven the evening while maintain some of everyone perennial favorites.

Dining this year will be offered in two options.

New this year is a tasting menu, with individual culinary delights offered at various stations around the Museum. Local neighborhood restaurants (to be announced closer to the event) will present a featured item for you to savor while you bid on silent auction items, explore the Museum, and enjoy various entertainment throughout the experience.

The other option will be a traditional Swedish meal, served to guests seated in the main event space. The meal will be catered by Tre Kronor and celebrate the cultural heritage embraced by the Museum. Seated dinner guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the tasting menu as well prior to the dinner service in the main event space.

Both groups will come together for the presentation of the award and share in the dessert options served in the main event space.

You choose the option that is best for you – but rest assured it will be a delicious and entertaining experience for all!
