About Tvísöngur
Tvísöngur was created by German artist Lukas Kühne as a tribute to Iceland’s traditional five-tone harmony. Five interconnected concrete chambers of different sizes each resonate at a different tone. The sculpture sits above Seyðisfjörður in an open mountainside setting and can be entered and experimented with by visitors.
Our practical tips
✓Go inside each chamber and make sounds — the acoustics are the whole point.
✓The fjord views make the walk worthwhile even before you reach the sculpture.
