About
Scandinavia House stands apart from other cultural venues in New York by focusing exclusively on contemporary Nordic culture from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Run by the American-Scandinavian Foundation, this nonprofit center presents rotating art exhibitions, film screenings, concerts, readings, and lectures. It also offers language classes and family-friendly activities, making it a fitting spot for all ages and backgrounds.
The building houses a casual café with baked goods, sandwiches, and coffee. Hours vary: weekdays open until 8pm (except Monday at 4pm), weekends until 6pm Saturday and 4pm Sunday. It's a reliable stop for a quiet afternoon exploring Nordic creativity away from the crowds of nearby MoMA.
