Episode 845 - GAMLABÚÐ, HÖFN

Today on RÚV English Radio, the oldest building in Höfn - put to many modern uses, including the teaching of Icelandic.

Gamlabúð (https://de.cdn-website.com/3311e7be02d0464c8878d6ee5b5a069f/files/uploaded/page-UK-with-map.pdf) is a building that has, literally, moved around a lot. Now at the centre of Höfn, it houses the town museum, tourist information centre, a concert venue, and a classroom to teach Icelandic.

Darren met Vilhjálmur Magnússon from Sveitarfélagið Hornafjörður to hear more.
