Gamlabio Theater
Iceland's iconic gathering house since 1926. A century of elegance in the heart of Reykjavik.
A Century of Icelandic Culture
Built in 1926 by Danish entrepreneur Peter Petersen, Gamlabio Theater—originally named "Reykjavikar Biograftheater"—premiered with the silent film epic Ben-Hur. For nearly a century, this architectural gem has been at the heart of Iceland's cultural life.
From 1980, it served as the home of the Icelandic Opera, hosting countless performances under its magnificent crystal chandelier. Today, Gamlabio seamlessly blends historic elegance with modern conference capabilities, making it the perfect venue for the Atlas Executive Summit.
