The Lost Horse Gallery, Hverfisgata 71

There is a world, a wondrous world that not many are aware of where Wewonders roam. A few, brave artists have tried to
recreate these creatures through sculpting, drawing, and other means. These artists call themselves Þiðundrin, or the You-
Wonders. The Youwonders, which is comprised of artists Ninna Þórarinsdóttir, Inga María Brynjarsdóttir and Þórey Mjallhvít
H. Ómarsdóttir, do their best to recreate these creatures that are drawn up by the human imagination. You can find these
attempts at the Lost Horse Gallery, at an exhibition entitled ‘The Wondrous World of the Wewonders’ between 14:00 and 17:00
every day except Monday. It would be wise to call ahead to make sure the exhibit is open, call: 868-6087. SAT
