NCAA Update…Nyathi played admirably and represented the Norse with incredible class all the way to the finish! Dropped his match 36 36 to the #2 seed and played some outstanding tennis to finish his Luther Tennis career! #SailNorse

Wonderful to greet friends from @Vesterheim at an Embassy reception yesterday evening. The Vesterheim Museum is one of the foremost homes of Norwegian culture in the United States. 🇳🇴🇺🇸

The @vesterheim website features many virtual galleries. ‘Walking’ through the historical images collection, I see the rich history of Norwegians emigrating to the U.S. in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Join me on my #VirtualMidwestTour. https://t.co/M7zVlerJeE

Stop #1 on my #VirtualMidwestTour: @Vesterheim Norwegian American Museum in Decorah, Iowa. This museum hosts the most extensive collection of 🇳🇴🇺🇸 artifacts in the🌍: 33,000 artifacts, 12 historic buildings, a Folk Art School & a library. I fondly remember in-person visits. (2/6)

[Iowa Museum Association @MuseumsIowaIMA]

The Folk Art School @vesterheim will discuss the role of the Folk Art School in supporting the Vesterheim's mission and education and outreach goals. #ThePowerOfReal #IMAconference2020

@Lutherdeanland This is awesome!

Appears our #AmazonEcho may be Norwegian. In addition to responding to “Alexa,” it responds to #Lefsa. It also defines itself. Perhaps @vesterheim could use a display?
