The exhibition gives visitors the chance to delve into the collections of six different cultural institutions: from thousand-year-old treasures to the latest in Icelandic art. Its focus is on the visual expression of the ideas we have about the world, our environment and ourselves.
Reykjavik's open air museum, where you can stroll through the past and experience the way we lived.
Fun, fascinating and full of surprises, this living museum takes you on a journey through time. Reykjavík's early history is preserved in a series of lovingly-restored homes, where you'll encounter costumed guides, grazing animals and traditional crafts.
Grillið has since long become an institution in the Icelandic culinary scene. Originally opened in 1962, this classic restaurant has always managed to stay on top of new trends without any sacrifice in quality.
From the time of the earliest settlers, history is brought to life in a unique and exciting way. The Saga Museum intimately recreates key moments in Icelandic history, moments that have determined the fate of our people and which give a compelling view into how Icelanders have lived for more than a millennium.
elected works reveal how artists explore the experience of being human. They reflect corporal and psychological characteristics, key events, and situations which compose the essentials of existence. The exhibition is the third draft of contemporary art history in Iceland based on works from the RAM Collection.
