The sculpture garden at Sigtún is dedicated to the works by Ásmundur Sveinsson (1893-1982). It is also the point where the exhibition Under the Same Sky extends its view to some of the numerous outdoor pieces that the late sculptor has created and installed in places around and outside Iceland.

The works in the exhibition are more meditative in comparison to the outdoor sculptures: smaller in scale, made of different materials, and three-dimensional studies to the enlarged works that Ásmundur realised in the end. Art in public spaces is one of the museum’s programme highlights in 2019. During the year, works by five artists will be featured at separate times in the exhibition Under the Same Sky together with Ásmundur Sveinsson.
