Harpa is one of Reykjavík’s most striking landmarks and a centre of cultural and social life in the very heart of the city. An award-winning work of art, Harpa has become a popular tourist destination visited by millions of people since opening in 2011. Its iconic glass honeycomb design was created by the Danish firm Henning Larsen Architects in co-operation with Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson.
Harpa is home to the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Icelandic Opera, and Reykjavík Big Band, which hold regular concerts through out the year. Múlinn jazzclub also resides in Harpa as well as Classic Sundays.
