Harpa in Reykjavik was designed by Henning Larsen Architects, with facade design by Ólafur Elíasson and acoustics by Artec Consultants. The infobox also lists Batteríið, which the text does not mention. The City of Reykjavik and the Government of Iceland are the owners. Construction began on January 12, 2007 and halted during the 2008 to 2011 financial crisis.
The article describes a steel framework clad in geometric colored glass panels inspired by Iceland's basalt landscape. It is 141 feet (43 m) tall and has 301,000 square feet (28,000 square meters) of floor area. It cost €164 million.
The infobox gives the opening as May 13, 2011, but the text says the opening concert was on May 4, 2011. It won the 2013 Mies van der Rohe Award. It is home to the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. The article gives no hours.
