Gerðuberg Cultural Center

Opened on 4 March 1983, Gerðuberg is an all-round cultural centre run by the City of Reykjavík, offering a varied programme of cultural events for people of all ages. Its aim is to be a venue of ambitious and high-quality cultural activities of all types and a place where good ideas and new creative ventures can find expression.

Easy access for citizens of all ages is a priority. Forthcoming cultural events are listed in the survey of the City‘s Cultural Affairs and Tourism Division each year; they are also to be found on Gerðuberg’s homepage and in a printed calendar of events that is published twice a year.

Reykjavík City‘s formal cultural institutions are: the Reykjavík City Library (Borgarbókasafn Reykjavíkur), Reykjavík Art Museum (Listasafn Reykjavíkur), Reykjavík Museum of Photography (Ljósmyndasafn Reykjavíkur), the Gerðuberg Cultural Centre, Reykjavík City Museum at Árbær (Minjasafn Reykjavíkur) and Höfuðborgarstofa, which covers tourist services and publicity events for the city.
