Cocktails at the Castle - June 1, 2018 | American Swedish Institute

ASI’s signature museum party is back with an atmospheric evening full of quirky surprises. "Cocktails at the Castle – Fantastical Worlds" takes its cue from the evocative sculptures of Finnish artist Kim Simonsson as part of The Fantastical Worlds of Kim Simonsson exhibition. Simonsson's life-size ceramic "Moss People" and other sculptures, inspired by Nordic fairy tales, movies, Japanese anime and pop culture, have inhabited the Mansion and inspire the night's activities!
