Nordic House (Iceland)

Its goal is to foster and support cultural connections between Iceland and the other Nordic countries.

To this end the Nordic House organises a diverse program of cultural events, exhibitions, seminars and activities & courses for children.

Library users may loan books, eBooks, films, magazines and graphic art by Nordic artists from the Artotek, study or have a cup of coffee.

The Nordic House has an exhibition space (Hvelfing), auditoriums and a children's library.

One of his later works, it features most of Aalto's signature traits: for example, the organic shape of the ridgeline of the ultramarine-tiled roof, echoing the range of mountains in the distance; the central well in the library; and the extensive use of white, tile and wood throughout the building.
