The Swedish Schoolhouse at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia 1876

• From introduction:Just next to the entrance to the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia 1876, beside a Japanese bazaar and in a prominent place, stood a nicely crafted modern Schoolhouse catching the visitor’s attention. The building was built by Swedish craftsmen, from Swedish timber, in 1875 and 1876, and was Sweden’s most important contribution to the exhibition. The Schoolhouse was intended to represent the advanced education system of Sweden, and it contained Swedish objects and instruments and pedagogical materials and texts. The Schoolhouse symbolised the idea of a complete effective and efficient schoolwork system.
