Richard Bratby: With one of the world's top 10 economies, Britain cuts arts funding. Facing total financial ruin, Iceland built this stunning performance venue. I know which future generations will appreciate more.
Freak Kearf: Great state of the art, concert hall, with perfect acoustic
May Yeung: Designed by the Danish architect firm Henning Larsens & Danish-Icelandic Artist Olafur Eliasson

Benjamin Doyle: cool photo collection, all by a single artist, Ari Sigvaldason
Cathrine Johansen: A super cute place with many, many photos taken in Iceland by a local photographer. The walls are also covered in old, vintage cameras! Make sure to bring a photo home with you.
Alex P: Cool photographs. Worth to go in and have a look. Bought 3 photos, paid cash as it says you get a discount but paid even more than they should have cost regularly. Unfortunately I realized it too late
Joe Compton: Easily the biggest hotel rooms in Reykjavik. Spacious private and public decks, luxury amenities, custom art and a Full TV channel of Icelandic landscape videos made just for guests!
