About
National Art Treasures
The National Gallery of Iceland is a well-known landmark by the Lake in Reykjavík. It was originally built in the early 20th century as an ice-house, and today it houses the National Gallery collections.
New exhibitions open regularly, highlighting the best of Icelandic contemporary art as well as Icelandic art history. The gallery shop sells books in English about Icelandic art, as well as a range of gifts and souvenirs and a comfortable café welcomes guests.
Admission to the National Gallery includes two more museums, which display the home of painter Ásgrímur Jónsson and sculptor Sigurjón Ólafsson.
Opening hours:
May 1-Sep 30: Daily 10am-5pm
