The Scandinavian Cultural Center is a place for all ages to discover and enjoy the heritage, history, and culture of Scandinavia.
The Viking Ship Prow
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 is 25 feet tall and weighs 2,200 lbs. The prow is
displayed in front of the Scandinavian Cultural Center as a reminder of
the university's Nordic roots.
The Center
The center is located at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA, as a part of the University's connection to its Nordic roots.
We are open to the public three days a week. Our volunteers will
welcome you and give you a guided tour of the facility. Special
educational programs are offered to school groups.
