Icelandic icon 1

One of the first places I wanted to explore in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital, was Harpa Concert Hall, a venue opened in 2011.

The building is visually stunning, with a colored glass facade that changes with reflected light.

It is fascinating inside and out. This is an interior view.

It was grey and cloudy the first day I saw it. On another, sunnier day its character had changed as I photographed it over construction fencing.

The building was designed by Henning Larsen Architects and artist Olafur Eliasson.
