Nordic House, Cultural center in Reykjavík, Iceland.
The Nordic House features exhibition spaces, auditoriums, and a specialized library containing over 30,000 items in seven Nordic languages excluding Icelandic.
Finnish architect Alvar Aalto designed this cultural institution in 1968 as a platform for connecting Iceland with other Nordic countries through arts and education.
The center hosts numerous annual events including the Reykjavík International Film Festival, Iceland Airwaves music festival, and Design March exhibitions.
Visitors can access the library collection, attend cultural events, view art exhibitions, and participate in educational programs throughout the year.
The building displays Aalto's characteristic architectural elements, including an ultramarine-tiled roof with organic shapes and extensive white tile and wood interior details.
