b'In partnership with the Icelandic Bathing Culture Exhibit hosted at H\\xf6nnurnarsafn, the Icelandic Museum for Design and Applied Arts, I\\u2019m sharing how Iceland\\u2019s beloved bathing culture evolved.
\\n
\\nSund, which is the name of the Icelandic Bathing Exhibit, shares fascinating facts. One of my favorites is that a failed gold rush in Iceland is what led to geothermal energy being pumped to communal swimming pools and people\\u2019s homes in the early 1900s.

\\nWhat to Expect at The Icelandic Bathing Culture Exhibit
\\nThe combination of history and interactive stations provides a fun and insightful experience into how Icelanders built pools for survival and hygiene but later evolved the use of them into foster community and well-being.
\\n
\\nThe bathing culture exhibition is available to check out until October 23rd, 2022, so I highly recommend putting it on your list of places to visit.
