Built between 1906-1908, Reykjavik's Culture House was originally designed to house the major cultural institutions in Iceland. Today it is home to temporary and permanent exhibitions tracing the country's history, including literature, politics, maps, state emblems and currency.
The museum building was built to house The National Library, The National Archives, The National Museum and The Museum of National History. Now, along with major exhibitions, the Culture House also has a comprehensive library room with displays of many landmark books of Icelandic cultural history, including the oldest published versions of the Icelandic Sagas, the Sagas of the Kings of Norway, the Eddic poems, Hallgrímur Pétursson's Psalms of Christ's Passion and Vidalín's Homilies.
There is also a restaurant/cafe to help keep your energy up when visiting, offering a tasty selection of light meals, coffee, cakes and fresh bread baked on the premises.
