Reyk­javík City Mu­seum
Our His­tory

What will we put in school lunch boxes 100 years from now? Let´s use our imagination and draw the content of future kid´s lunch boxes in an open drawing station of Reykjavík City Museum. No participation fee, all welcome.

The guide takes guests to all the main houses of the museum and tells their story.

How will our relationship with animals be in the future? Will we have pets in the year 2125? What kind of animals would they be? Take a look at 100-year-old pictures of children and animals in different settings. The pictures are used as inspirations in an open drawing station on children´s relationship with animals at the Museum of Photography on the 6th floor. No participation fee, all welcome.
