Our His­tory

Reykjavík Museum of Photography

We welcome you to the exhibition "Lament for a Horse", which is now on show at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography.

Árbær Open Air Museum

Growing Pains is an experiential exhibition emphasizing creativity, education, imagination, and playfulness. Visitors get an insight into the world of primary school children in Reykjavík between 1898 and 1974.

Due to ongoing construction on Viðey's pier, the island will be temporarily closed. The gangway is being upgraded to improve visitor access. We'll update you and let you know as soon as the island reopens.
