Reykjavik Art Musem

The city’s contemporary art museum was founded in 1973 and now spreads across three locations in the city. Paintings and sculptures by established artists are on view at the Kjarvalsstadir exhibition hall at Miklatún. The Hafnarhus (Harbor House), inaugurated in 2000, is located in downtown Reykjavík near the waterfront, and is dedicated to new developments in art.  Finally, the Ásmundur Sveinsson Sculpture Museum, a showcase of work by the Icelandic sculptor, is located near Laugardalur. The permanent collection at Kjarvalsstadir and the temporary exhibitions at Hafnarhus are worth a visit.
