Second Life — the Second House of Sweden
Sweden's virtual embassy in Second Life is a project conceived, directed and funded by the Swedish Institute. The design of the Second House of Sweden was adapted from the real-life House of Sweden, designed by Wingårdh AB, in Washington, DC.

Second Life is not a game, but a 3-D virtual world which attracts users from all over the world and is created entirely by its residents.

The Second House of Sweden fulfills the role of "embassy" purely as a representative of goodwill. The embassy is dedicated to exhibits about Sweden, and provides a platform for events — film showings, seminars, concerts — all with a Swedish theme.
