To commemorate the museum’s 150th anniversary this beautiful
collection of Icelandic silverwork will definitely show off Icelanders
skills at crafting their bling. Spanning across the centuries, these
stunningly made pieces form part of an exhibition that focuses on
the methods used to make them and what processes were involved.
This is one silver collection to behold, regardless of whether silver
is your preferred metal of choice or not. At the same time another
exhibition, Part-Time Silversmith, will be opened where guests can
see the tools that silversmiths of the past used to make their objects
with. Definitely a bling-bling exhibit to dazzle your eyes on. JL
