Reykjavik Art Museum, Art museum in Reykjavik, Iceland
The Reykjavik Art Museum operates across three buildings: Hafnarhus near the harbor, Kjarvalsstadir by Klambratun, and Asmundarsafn in Laugardalur district.
Established in 1973, the museum transformed from a fishing warehouse into Iceland's largest visual art institution, managing the city's extensive art collection.
The museum presents over twenty exhibitions annually, featuring both Icelandic and international artists through temporary installations and permanent collections.
Visitors can access all three museum locations using the Reykjavik City Card, which includes entry to additional cultural attractions throughout the city.
The Asmundarsafn building combines Arab and Mediterranean architectural elements, designed by sculptor Asmundur Sveinsson as both his studio and exhibition space.
