One of the newest and hottest signs of spring in the Twin Cities is a party at the American Swedish Institute. The Cocktails at the Castle series makes an explosive return as the American Swedish Institute (ASI) puts a fashionable spin on a night out at the historic Turnblad Mansion and its latest exhibition, Nobel Creations. ASIs popular event has been called the museum party done right and the best event concept in the Twin Cities two years in a row.

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite but he left his fortune to celebrate the best of the best of human achievements with the creation of the Nobel prizes.
