    It's a cultural center with a nice cafe. There isn't anything to do here, really, unless you bought a ticket for an event and, I mean, you go there for that... You can drink a coffee, and you go to your show. No other events or permanent "exhibitions" unless scheduled. Not sure if I misread their website, which is totally possible, but I definitely thought there was more about this place.

    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 more explicitly.

    The architecture is spectacular and merges into the environment perfectly. Didn't know that it was built in the 1980s. Looks very modern, with green roofs!

    Modern architecture that blends well with the terrain. There was an interesting contemporary art exhibition when I visited. No entrance fee except for special events. It has a cafe and toilets.

    I selected this restaurant based on reviews and pictures. The food was a solid two, the service a solid two, the bread was a four. The atmosphere was a two, very noisy. I'd skip this stop if you're here for a few days. Hit up Barbara instead

    Great resource for locals to have a place to hang out and chill as well as go to see cultural events. As a visitor, it's cool to stop by but not a must see.

    Unless you are here for a performance or conference, there isn’t much to do but the architecture is interesting to explore and there is a lovely cafe and small shop.

    Very beautiful. Had a blast in the Nordic house for a conference ❤️

  • 4/5 Tiffany C. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s definitely warm and dry. It has a cafe inside that serves coffee and food. We only saw one display there as the 2 large conference rooms were being used for a private event. It has lots of parking and was free.

👍👍 Great view of the town. Got some ace sheep selfies. I had a fall next to the bench during night time but that's because I was quite hammered.
