Sit down in the southeast corner on the second floor and just look at the light playing with the glass facade. Be still. And soon you will notice there- Colm LinehanMarch 12, 2014Don't forget your camera. Fantastic architecture. Great angles from the 4th floor

Maria KöhlerJune 24, 2015Didn't see a concert here, just checked out the architecture in the lobby. Pretty cool.
Sándor DargóJune 12, 2013Good to know that there is a free clean toilet in this extraordinary building!
Vilhelm VestmannDecember 14, 2012I was on christmas concert (Frostrósir/Frostroses) and it was excellent!
Have a cocktail at the top floor and take in the view.
Parking here is expensive. If you're going to stay for a long time you might want to park somewhere in the neighbourhood instead.

"Being inside this building is like being inside a quiet, vast, glacier. Rich, dark, volcanic basalt line the inner walls; sculptured glass form the outer case. Beautiful. Go to the 5th floor view."
