The latest exhibition at Nordic House shines a light on these evolutions with an interactive display for all ages. Nordic House, Sturlugata 5 (H2). Admission: 1,000 ISK

DAY TOURS FROM REYKJAVÍK A Mystery Wrapped In An Artwork Verksmiðjan at Hjalteyri | Free!
Pierre Coulibeuf, a French visual artist and filmmaker, exhibits four magical video installations focusing on the often opaque relationship between an individual and the world. The video pieces, made between 1995 and 2008, are inspired by various artistic collaborators, in fields from choreography and theatre to photography. Each tries to take parts from reality and put them back together in a new shape, to yield new insight. HBG
