The Hellisheidi geothermal power plant features a great exhibition. The video embedded here gives a great overview on what to expect and see at the plant and center.

The Hellisheidi geothermal power plant is probably one of the more beautiful geothermal plants in the world and likely the most visited.

Built in 2007 the plant features an exhibition and a unqiue look into the geothermal power operations on site and in Iceland. With a wonderful exhibition it also showcases the basics of geothermal, where the energy comes from and how the plant works. It has established itself as one of the top tourist destinations in Iceland with visitors of more than 100,000 per year.

This video actually gives a rather nice  overview on the exhibition at Hellisheidi.
