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.
