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.

The newly founded Akureyri based re-
cord label Kimi Records throws a party
May 30 where their main attractions
perform. Kimi have in a short period
positioned themselves amongst the
more prolific labels in Iceland and pil-
fered many of the country’s rising stars
in the music industry. The last Friday
of May, Organ will be shaken at the
foundation by the infamous madcaps
of Reykjavík!, the enigmatic but homey
Borko and finally the party ends with a
dance frenzy controlled by FM Belfast
as well as Dj Peter Parker. In addition,
Kimi promise a surprise and whether
it should be the newly signed electro
musician Klive or the alleged next Kimi
band, Retro Stefson, it will be a night to
remember at Organ.
May 30, Organ, Hafnarstræti 1-3

beautiful meal for us.
We had the most
amazing freshest fish I've
ever had in my life.
It was all so perfectly
cooked too...Beautiful!”
