The Nordic House is the Faroe Islands' main cultural centre, with exhibitions, concerts, talks, and performances in a turf-roofed building above Torshavn. It is one of the best places to see the islands' arts scene in motion rather than as folklore in a display case.
The programme changes often, so it is worth checking what is on even if you only have a short stay. There is also a cafe, making it an easy rainy-day stop.
