Geothermal Exhibition Reviews

It was informative but so is watching a youtube video. I think it is overpriced for what you get.

The geothermal exhibit is interesting but definitely overpriced considering the time spent inside. We took our time and stayed around 20 minutes, apart from several videos you don’t get much to see. All the boards are explained in English language only and the displays are not very interactive.

Very informative! The exhibition goes in depth about how Iceland is utilising geothermal energy for both electricity and hot water and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and approachable! A must see for everyone, including Icelanders.

Yesterday I visited the National power Company Exhibition which was free and very interactive and we were the only guests there. Because of that I wanted to try another exhibition and found this one. The exhibition lacked the fun and interesting aspects I was hoping for. Instead we got walls of text, and stones with texts. Even toilets at the cheapest N1 stop were better. And then you don't even get warm water to wash your hands after reading half an hour about the nice benefits of geothermal energy and how no households need a boiler etc. But at least they have soap? Well it's 99% water and 1% soap. If you want to visit a museum, please skip this one. *********** Original reply from the museum: Hi Daniel, we're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your visit to the Geothermal Exhibition. It sounds like you missed a significant part of the exhibition. We have textual displays, but in addition to this we have interactive displays (like the production wheels on the top floor), art instillations (like the immersive Agndofa room that showcases the surrounding landscapes), maps, distribution grids, diagrams, rocks and minerals, operational parts like turbine blades and a pipe cross-section, six different videos around the exhibition, and viewing platforms for the turbine halls and over the back working area to name a few of our highlights. We are not sure how you went through with seeing only walls of texts and stones, but we are again sorry you didn't enjoy it. Regarding the comments on the bathroom sinks, we took a look this morning. We found one sink in the downstairs bathroom with a very low pressure (though still with hot water), and the remaining eight sinks were all in working order. In our restrooms we have soap and sanitizer next to each other, so it's possible that you accidentally used the sanitizer instead of the soap. We will look into better labelling for the soap and sanitizer, and have flagged the low pressure sink for maintenance. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope that you enjoy the rest of your visit in Iceland! *********** Edit: After reading the reply of the museum I've adjusted my rating. The museum is indeed very very interactive how did I miss the obvious things there? So you can interactively watch a video where you can interactively choose to stand or sit (did I mention that it's very interactive?). You can interactively look (don't touch) at the moss or interactively watch a documentary. You also can interact with the interactive toilet with interactive flushing. You can also interactively turn the tap from left to right where it interactively switches from cold to cold. Of course I thought that in the soap bottles were soap but maybe I mistook the soap bottle for a water bottle because it was almost only water as mentioned earlier. My mistake of course. After reconsidering my first review I have to rewrite the conclusion: I interactively don't recommend this exhibition.

Zu teuer für das was geboten wird. Die Ausstellung von Powering the Future – National Power Company of Iceland Visitor Center ist interaktiver und kostenlos

Veramente interessante consigliatissimo per capire come un paese come l’Islanda sia un esempio di sostenibilità nella produzione di energia e riscaldamento. Certo avere tutta quell energia geotermica aiuta…!

Incredible exhibition, lots of great information and things to see. Amazing to see how they have been able to sustainably use their natural resources for electricity and heat. Definitely worth the visit!

Very informative

Very cool learning about the science of geothermal power in Iceland and would definitely recommend to anybody that is into their science. Don’t need waterproofs or anything really as it’s mostly indoors. Only thing I would say negatively is that the smell of hydrogen sulphide outside is potent, it smells like eggy farts.

The information is presented in a simple but interesting way on how to conserve nature and use it for heating and hot water supply.

Mostra molto ben fatta interessante con bei filmati anche in italiano. Raggiungibile solo in auto in zona circolo d'oro vale sicuramente la pena una visita

Sindri was a very informative guide and answered all of our questions. The presentation was not too long, very concise, and interesting!

SEMOGA AKU DAPAT KESINI. WALAUPUN DI INDONESIA AKU DIBUAT MISKIN.

Very interesting exhibit on geothermal uses in Iceland and how the plant and carbon capture work. Nice interactive exhibits and optional audio tour through an app.

Small exhibition but did contain a detailed interactive display that was very informative.

Way too much money for a few displays and a couple YouTube videos

The main building where they have the exhibition is very clean and informative. The guys that works at the reception are extremely helpful and nice. All the presentations have their explanations. After we finish we did a tour through the whole plant in our car and saw the different mechanism that are used to accomplish the mission in the plant.
