Volcano House (Iceland)

About

Volcano House was a geology exhibition in Reykjavík, Iceland, operating from 2011 to 2020 and located at Tryggvagata 11. The exhibition gave a brief overview of Iceland's geological history and volcanic systems. Every hour the Volcano House showed two documentaries, one about the volcanic eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 and one about the volcanic eruption in the Westman Islands in 1973. The mission of Volcano House was to give visitors a glimpse of the reality of living in Iceland, where volcanoes and earthquakes are a part of daily life. Admission to the geology exhibition was free, but the documentary film required paid tickets.
