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.

  1. Unlike the Sydney Opera House, I’d never heard of Harpa. The glass is beautiful, very interesting design.

  2. Stunning piece of architecture Kay, I can see how the weather and angles could make for many diverse images ✨
