The Nordic House — Attraction in Tórshavn

The Nordic House in Torshavn is a cultural centre that showcases both the Faroese and Nordic cultures.

The building is made of material from all the Nordic countries, so when you enter the house, you step on Norwegian stones and the chairs that you sit in are from Finland. The wooden panels give you a feeling of deep Swedish forests, the glass and steel constructions come from Denmark, and above it all hangs the Icelandic roof construction. Last, but not least, the grass on the roof is as Faroese as it is green.

This is the Nordic House of the Faroe Islands – a versatile house that is the perfect venue for a large variety of different events. They even have a great café and a large selection of Nordic newspapers.

It truly captured the spirit of community and the arts.

A beautiful building and a testament to Nordic culture. The thing that they don't explain very well is that it's not a museum. It's more or less a conference and performing arts center with a restaurant which hosts art, performance, academic or professional events regarding nordic culture. Occasionally they do have temporary exhibits but otherwise there's nothing to see unless you're attending the aforementioned events. This is not a demerit, the only thing they should do is state that...
