Við bjóðum börn velkomin í föndursmiðju í haustfríinu þar sem hægt er að gefa ímyndunaraflinu lausan tauminn.

Árbæjarsafn er útisafn sem var stofnað árið 1957 en auk Árbæjar eru þar yfir tuttugu hús, sem mynda torg, þorp og sveit. Í Árbæjarsafni er leitast við að gefa hugmynd um byggingalist og lifnaðarhætti í Reykjavík á 19. og 20. öld. Hvert og eitt hús geymir annaðhvort sjálfstæða sögusýningu eða þá að þar er sýnt dæmigert heimili frá ákveðnu tímabili. Á safninu má einnig sjá gamaldags verkstæði ýmiskonar þar sem sjá má dæmigerða aðstöðu, tækni og tól.

Árbær was an established farm well into the 20th century, and the museum opened there in 1957. Árbær is now an open-air museum with more than 20 buildings which form a town square, a village and a farm. Most of the buildings have been relocated from central Reykjavik. The Museum seeks to give an idea of architecture and way of life in Reykjavik in the 19th and 20th centuries. Each house contains either an independent historical exhibition or a typical home from a specific period. The museum also houses old-fashioned workshops of typical facilities, technology and tools.

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

Varðskipið Óðinn er hluti af Sjóminjasafninu og um leið ein helsta sýning safnsins. Skipið kom til safnsins árið 2008 og er varðveitt í því ástandi sem það kom. Boðið er upp á leiðsagnir á hverjum degi fyrir utan köldustu vetrarmánuðina auk þess sem skipið er opið gestum á hátíðisdögum sem er þá sérstaklega auglýst. 

Í leiðsögn er gengið um skipið, sagt frá sögu þess, lífinu um borð og því hlutverki sem að það gegndi hjá Landhelgisgæslu Íslands. Hver leiðsögn tekur tæplega klukkustund.

Til þess að tryggja öryggi um borð skal hafa í huga:

Lágt getur verið til lofts og hvassar brúnir og horn sem hægt er að reka sig í. Stigar eru brattir. Skipið hentar ekki fólki sem fær innilokunarkennd eða hefur skerta hreyfigetu. Börn yngri en 12 ára skulu ætíð vera í fylgd með fullorðnum.

Börn eru á ábyrgð forráðamanna.

The Coast Guard Vessel Óðinn is a part of the Reykjavík Maritime Museum. It is, as such, one of the Maritime Museum's primary exhibitions. It is preserved in the condition in which it arrived at the museum in 2008.

We offer daily guided tours on board the vessel except during the coldest winter months. It is also open to the public on national holidays, which we announce especially.

A guided tour includes walking around the vessel and hearing about the history on board and its role under the Icelandic Coast Guard. Each guided tour takes a little less than an hour.

To ensure safety on board, you should keep the following in mind:

The ceiling can be low, and please beware of sharp edges. The stairs are steep. The ship is not suited for people with claustrophobia or with reduced mobility.

We offer daily guided tours on board the Coast Guard vessel Óðinn from March to November, focusing on the Cod Wars and the vessel's rescue history. Welcome on board!

Við bjóðum daglegar leiðsagnir frá mars-nóvember í hinu sögufræga varðskipi Óðni þar sem þorskastríðin og björgunarsaga skipsins eru í brennidepli. Velkomin um borð!

Viðburðurinn er skynseginvænn og gerðar verða ráðstafanir til að lágmarka áreiti. Safnið er þó opið almennum gestum svo það má gera ráð fyrir smávægilegum umgangi.

Finna má upplýsingar um aðgengi á Ljósmyndasafninu á vef Borgarsögusafns efst þar sem stendur aðgengi.

Sýningin Hinsegin - einhverf er safn ljósmynda af einstaklingum sem eru hinsegin og staðsetja sig á einhverfurófi, með eða án einhverfugreiningar.

Eva Ágústa ljósmyndari, sem sjálf er trans og á einhverfurófi, hefur undanfarin ár einbeitt sér að því að segja sögur af fólki út frá sínum hugmyndum um það. Frá unga aldri hefur hún fylgst með því hvernig óeinhverfir haga sér í samfélaginu og út frá því hefur hún reynt að breyta hegðun sinni til þess að passa betur inn í samfélagið.
Einhverfir verða gjarnan utanveltu vegna skynjunar sinnar á umhverfinu. Í dag notar Eva þessa óhefðbundnu skynjun sem styrkleika í myndsköpun sinni.

Sýningin er tilraun Evu til að auka sýnileika þessara tveggja hópa sem eiga til að týnast í samfélaginu og verða ósýnilegir. Eva vann verkefnið þannig að hún kynnti sér viðfangsefnin mjög persónulega og út frá því myndaði hún fólkið í því umhverfi þar sem því líður best. Eva blandar saman náttúrulegri birtu og aukalýsingu til að skapa þá persónu sem hún sér og sem einstaklingarnir samþykkja.

Eva lærði ljósmyndun í Tækniskólanum í Reykjavík árið 2009 og lauk sveinsprófi haustið 2011. Hún tók sér pásu frá ljósmyndun í nokkur ár en hefur að undanförnu fundið hillu sína aftur og hefur meðal annars fengist við nokkur verkefni sem snúa að því að segja sögur af fólki.
Sýningin er styrkt af Einhverfusamtökunum.

The exhibition "Queer and Autistic" features a collection of photographs of queer individuals on the autism spectrum, with or without an official diagnosis. Eva Ágústa, the photographer, is herself trans and on the autism spectrum. For the past few years, she has focused on telling people's stories from her unique perspective. Having observed how non-autistic people behave in society from a young age, she has tried to change her behaviour to fit in better. Today, she uses her unconventional perception to her advantage in photography.

The exhibition aims to make these two groups more visible since they are often overlooked and become invisible. Eva worked by getting to know her subjects personally before photographing them in their most comfortable environments. She uses a blend of natural and additional light to capture the image she envisions, with the individuals agreeing on the final result.

Eva studied photography at Reykjavík Technical College in 2009 and passed her apprentice exam in the fall of 2011. After a short break, she rediscovered her passion and has recently worked on various projects that tell people's stories.

This exhibition is accessible to a neurodiverse audience and is proudly sponsored by Einhverfusamtökin (The Icelandic Autistic Society).

For more information on accessibility at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography, visit our website.

Young neurodivergent people are especially welcome to join an Exhibition Talk in Icelandic with Eva Ágústa, the photographer behind "Queer and Autistic", on Thursday, 24 October, at 13:00. Free admission.

In 2012, Portfolio Review was first introduced in Iceland when Photography Days were initiated by the Reykjavík Museum of Photography in cooperation with [Físl – The Icelandic Contemporary Photography Association](https://fisl.is/). The aim with the portfolio review was to broaden networks between photographers in all branches and lens-based media artists thus giving them opportunity for advice and feedback on their work.

_Photography Days_ were first held in 2012 and 2014. In 2016 the title of the festival was changed to The Icelandic Photo Festival and has since been held on a biannual basis. The Reykjavík Museum of Photography is the host of the portfolio review, which is an important pillar of the festival.



Portfolio review is a short meeting (15-20 minutes) where a photographer/artist comes with their photos, on paper or in digital format, and shows them to the reviewer. Reviewers are both foreign and Icelandic professionals, either museum and/or curators in museums and galleries or editors of photography magazines.

In addition to giving the participants a review of their work, participation in a photo review can lead to various opportunities such as invitations to foreign festivals and/or participation in exhibitions within and outside the country. The goal of the photography review is to expand the network of photographers in all disciplines and artists who work with the medium, as well as to provide them with advice and feedback on their work. At the same time, it is an important introduction to Icelandic photographic culture.

Ever since the first photo review was held in 2012, it has been a fertile ground for both parties. She has both helped participants to present their work and reviewers to discover talented people working with the photographic medium, giving them advice and feedback on their work.
