The Nordic House in Reykjavík is a cultural institution opened in 1968 and operated by the Nordic Council of Ministers. Its goal is to foster and support cultural connections between Iceland and the other Nordic countries. To this end, the Nordic House organizes a diverse program of cultural events and exhibitions.

The house is the venue for front row activities in the Icelandic cultural calendar: Reykjavík International Film and Literary Festivals, Iceland Airwaves and The Nordic Fashion Biennale—launched by the Nordic House. In the basement of the building, you can find the exhibition space Hvelfing which exhibits contemporary art by artists from all over the Nordic.
