Tjarnarbíó is just over a century old, built-in 1913. The auditorium was originally an “icehouse”, at the time, ship owners built it like a fish factory and used ice from the pond to keep the fish fresh for export. The backstage area of Tjarnarbíó was Reykjavík’s fire station. During WWII the University of Iceland took over the house and turned it into a cinema, hence the name Tjarnarbíó (“Pond Cinema”). For decades to come the house would be used as a cinema, as a lecture hall for the University, and as a theatre.
