This small museum atop Skólavörduholt hill (near the Hallgrímskirkja church) celebrates Iceland’s first sculptor, Einar Jónsson.  The museum features examples of Jónsson’s plaster works made over the course of his 60-year career.  The building, which was built in 1923, was originally Jónsson’s studio and home.  The outdoor sculpture garden is open to the public year-round.
