Harpa concert hall

My ears won’t be testing the acoustics of Reykjavík’s new concert hall Harpa until next month, but my eyes have already had a feast. Here are a few perspectives to give you a taste.

Looking up…

…towards the stairs…

…colourful shadows…

…the beehive glass…

…harbour view…

…the shadow-patterned floor…

…and finally one I took back in May on the day Harpa officially opened, with people still busy working on the finishing touches.

If you think they’re cool photos, I have to admit Danish-Icelandic artist Ólafur Elíasson and architectural firms Henning Larsen and Batterríid *probably* deserve some credit
