Ongoing exhibitions:
The Medieval Manuscripts – Eddas and
Sagas
On view are the ancient vellum
manuscripts that preserve the
Northern classical heritage: unique
sagas, poems and narratives which
are often our sole written sources of
information on the society, religion
and world view of the people of
Northern Europe from pagan
times through the tumult of Viking
Expansion, the settlement of the
Atlantic Islands and the period of
Christianisation.
SURTSEY - Genesis
Multimedia exhibition that tells
the story of an island’s spectacular
birth from the depths of the Atlantic
Ocean in 1963, traces its history
to the present day – and beyond,
glimpsing its future 120 years hence.
The exhibition explains the grounds
for the Government’s decision to
nominate Surtsey to UNESCO’s
World Heritage List.
Across the Oceans
The exhibition is dedicated to
Helgi Hálfdanarson’s (b. 1911)
translations and original writings.
Helgi Hálfdanarson is Iceland’s
most prolific literary translator of
all time. His extraordinary life’s
work includes the feat of translating
and publishing all the plays of
Shakespeare and all the extant
Greek tragedies.
The Journey’s End
The exhibition bears the title
of a poem by the Icelandic poet
and natural scientist, Jónas
Hallgrímsson (1807-1845), and sheds
light on his life’s work.

Exhibitions by Rafn Hafnfjörð and
Photographer Björn Árnason recently
opened his first solo exhibition inside
the trendy hair salon/gallery Gel at
Hverfisgata. In his exhibition he dis-
plays photographs shot in many plac-
es around Reykjavík for the past year
or so. Simplicity is the key element in
his pictures that reveal strong forms,
bright colours and curious shapes
in the environment regular passers
by wouldn’t necessarily notice when
strolling around the city. The photo-
graphs are all for sale for 20,000 ISK or
40,000 ISK, depending on the size. The
exhibition will be open until May 28.
