The National Film Archive of Iceland has now set up a small screening room, Litla bíó, which seats 15 people. The facility will be used for staff to view the archive's material, to show requested material to scholars, and to hold screenings for small groups visiting the archive.
The home theater is homegrown in the sense that all of its design was done in-house, as the experience and knowledge were readily available. Sigurjón Jóhannsson was responsible for the theater's setup, but others also pitched in. The walls are covered with thick velvet curtains, and the seats come from MÍR, as the museum had them in its possession. The screen is a stylish television. This screening facility is a great improvement and will be very useful. Work is also underway to set up a larger presentation space in the building's main hall, where presentations and lectures, to name a few, can be held.
