Whales of Iceland
Reykjavik exhibition of life-size whale models in the Grandi harbour district.
Whales of Iceland is an indoor exhibition in Reykjavik's Grandi harbour district built around life-size models of the whales that live in Icelandic waters, from dolphins up to a full-scale blue whale. It pairs naturally with a whale-watching trip from the harbour next door.
