Opening I Winter Scenes
Welcome to the opening of the exhibition "Winter Scenes“ at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography 17 April at 16:00-18:00. Light refreshments will be served. Free entry! “Winter Scenes” opens at SKOTIÐ in 2026 — the third in a year long series of exhibitions by FÓKUS, the Amateur Photography Club. There was little snow in Iceland during the first months of the year. That changed, however, as March progressed: avalanches began to fall and transportation across the country was widely disrupted. But snow also brings with it many forms of beauty, not least in the frost, which delights photographers. This exhibition reveals that beauty, as snow lays its graceful veil across the landscape, creates all kinds of mysterious shapes and together with the frost, summons strange creatures and forms along rivers and lakes. Photographers: • Hallfríður Ingimundardóttir • Helga Gréta Ingimundardóttir • Hrafnhildur L. Hafsteinsdóttir • Íris Reynisdóttir • Jón Stefánsson • Þórður Kr Jóhannesson
Turf and Stone - Exhibition during Children's Culture Festival
3rd grade students from Ártúnsskóli came to Árbær Open Air Museum this spring and listened to Sigrún Eldjárn, the beloved author and artist, read from her latest book "Torf, grjót og burnirót". After the reading, the children were able to craft their own turf farm in the spirit of the book. The turf farms will be on exhibition in the Líkn building, at the museum's square, on the occasion of the Children's Culture Festival, which takes place from 20-26 April. All are welcome.
