Reykjavik's CULTURE HOUSE This is a treat and a truly great experience for the entire family. Now called The Culture House, it used to be The National Library and was the first modem house in Iceland. It re-opened as the Culture House this past April after a multi-million dollar ren- ovation. This preserved build- ing is widely admired as one of Iceland's national treasures. It opened to the public in 1909 and housed the National Library and the National Archives for much of the past century. For several decades the National Museum and Natural History Museum were also located there. Although the library archives and museums have all moved, various items from there are on exhibit in the building, which is now named the Culture House to reflect its new and independent role. There are many exhibi- tions, including: "1000 years of Christianity", "Exhibition Library", which holds the first Bible in Icelandic made in 1584. Also other exhibitions include "Iceland on Ancient Maps", "Emblems of Iceland", which show the coat of arms past and present, and the "Vikings and the New World." This one is definitely for all of those history lovers telling the history of the Vikings and the new world. There are also numerous other rooms. All of these rooms can be visited in one day taking about 2 hours to tour. On the bottom floor there is a cafe' for delicious cakes and coffee, and also a gift shop, which holds great gifts for any holiday. For groups, tour guides can be used, but for families and individuals there are people around the house that are happy to answer any questions. The price is 300Kr for adults, and free for children-a bargain for what this house holds. It is an amazing place, that no one should miss. You can pick up some information and get directions from the MWR Tour Office (Ext. 4200) located in the main MWR building across the street from the Viking Mall. FREE DOD CONCERT THIS SATURDAY! MISSION 10PM AT COCONUT ALLEY. ALL HANDS! FREE! A CONTEMPORARY URBAN BAND FROM THE STATES.
