The Scandinavian Cultural Center is a place for all ages to discover and enjoy the heritage, history, and culture of Scandinavia.
The Center is located at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma Washington, as a part of the University's connection to its Nordic roots.
The Center is open to the public three days a week with a few exceptions. You will find closure dates on Events Calendar page of the Scandinavian Scene.
In the spring of 1992, the long-awaited Viking ship prow made its way from Anacortes, Washington, home of its designer and builder, Paul Schweiss. It stands 25 feet tall and weighs 2,200 lbs. The prow is a visual reminder of the University's Nordic roots.
