Waliking into the sculpture gallery you can’t help be awed by the magnitude of the beauty and the sheer volume of work being displayed in a smallish space. Ample space for the visiting contributing artists/artist in residence to showcase their work also. The outdoor sculpture garden is a delight and is always accessible.
Our favorite of the 3 included in the ticket (Reykjavik Art Museum) - well worth the walk to see the retrospective of this seminal Icelandic Sculptor. Smaller works inside and larger pieces out. Claude was incredibly knowledgeable about the museums evolution from a home & studio into the museum of today. You can access the lively sculpture garden to free without the ticket.
We were lucky to see the current artist performing a workshop and doing a live demonstration. Beautiful architecture, artwork, and sculpture garden. Would recommend!
Loved the sculptures, the room upstairs had very interesting acoustic as well as natural imagery formed along the wall.
Amazing museum with fantastic collection of sculptures from Asmundur Sveinsson. Beautiful space and impressive collection, including wonderful sculptures in the garden around the museum. Must see in Reykjavik!
