being on display for the first time in many years. The concept of
the exhibition is an ever-rotating platform of artwork. Indeed the
exhibition will be rotated during opening hours, making your visit
a unique one from that of someone who may be visiting on an-
other day. The collection, consisting of Icelandic and international
pieces, gives a cross-spectrum perspective of the pieces held
by the museum, which offer a fascinating insight in to the works
