Very peaceful little area behind the church in Reykjavik that you could easily miss if not paying attention. It was a lovely garden area away from the big crowds that offered gorgeous sculptures and the occasional cat! And of course it was FREE! I wouldn’t go out of my way to see it, but I’m glad I stopped in when I was in the area.

Stunning sculpure garden next to the cathedral. A peaceful place to contemplate the topics of the sculptures and the beautiful forms. A few cats keep the place safe.

An extremely moving artist that is amoung on of the greats that should be known and remembered by the wider world. If you visit Reykjavík please come here! The sculptures are so moving in person. The garden is free to visit and the museum is lovely.

Nice museum! We did not enter the building - we stayed outside in the sculpture garden. There were a bunch of sculptures you can see without buying a ticket. They were neat to see. It would have been nice to see the inside but we didn't have enough time to do that.

Lovely museum in unique architecture building. The museum is conveniently located near Hallgrímskirkja church in central Reykjavik. I was impressed by the external architecture, which can be admired from the free-access garden outside. Inside, however, I felt the sculptures and art could have been arranged more efficiently. The building has three floors, with the upper floor offering insights into Einar Jonsson's life.
