The Scandinavian Institute of Comparative Vandalism (Danish:Skandinavisk institut for sammenlignende vandalisme) was founded in 1961 by the Danish artist Asger Jorn, Peter Glob and Werner Jacobsen from the National Museum of Denmark and Holger Arbman of the University of Lund, Sweden. Jacqueline de Jong were also involved. The stated purpose of the institute was to throw new light upon the Scandinavian culture in the age of migrations and Vikings.

In 1965 the Silkeborg municipal government provided a building to store over 20,000 of photographs taken by Asger Jorn, Gerard Francechi and Ulrik Ross.

A publication series in the name of the institute (Meddelelse fra Skandinavisk institut for sammenlignende vandalisme) encompasses four books, all by Asger Jorn (two from 1962, one from 1964, and the last one published posthumously in 1980).
