Reykjavik, Iceland - July 10th 2019: Reykjavík Art Museum in Hafnarhús, License Type: media, Download Time: 2025-10-22T10:58:01.000Z, User: oneseven7891, Editorial: true, purchase_order: 56530 - Guidebooks, job: Global Publishing WIP, client: Iceland 14, other: Dominic Allen

Reykjavík Art Museum's Hafnarhús is a marvelously restored warehouse converted into a soaring steel-and-concrete exhibition space. Though the well-curated exhibitions of cutting-edge contemporary Icelandic art change frequently (expect installations, videos, paintings and sculpture), you can always count on the comic-book-style paintings of Erró (Guðmundur Guðmundsson), a political artist who has donated several thousand works to the museum.

Your ticket also gets you into the modern art collections at Kjarvalsstaðir.
