On the edge of Reykjavík, where the cool breath of the North Atlantic meets land, rises a unique sanctuary from times and cultures of the past. Here, surrounded by the city's simple Scandinavian architecture, the Recycled House tells a story as diverse and compelling as the objects that compose it.

Upon entering this enchanted place you will be greeted by a rusty Viking warrior. An all-seeing eye at the entrance curiously observes every visitor. Above you, on a roof, a wire-shaped raven explores the area as if it were the guardian of this special place.

"The Recycled House: Home to the film director of the legendary feature: The Raven flies"

There is something different to discover in every corner and niche. Well worth taking a bit of time to explore :)
