Frothing Waterfalls – Creative watercolour methods in connection with Tumi Magnússon’s exhibition Loop. We’ll explore how watercolours respond to salt and paint with soap bubbles to imitate the froth that often forms in rushing waterfalls and trickling streams.
The Gallery encourages families to visit and ponder the art on their own terms. We also offer diverse programming on a regular basis with an emphasis on enabling families to enjoy time together in creative ways, whether through live guided tours or custom workshops. All events are advertised specially in connection with exhibitions.
The kids' club Krummi runs a varied and fun program every month where cheerful kids are invited to learn about the works of art in the collection of the National Gallery of Iceland, create works of art and play in a nurturing environment.

The Thought of Drawing - Drawings by Kjarval
A talk about a selection of works from the recent exhibition The Thought of Drawing, which spans the artist’s entire career and his principal subjects – portrait, landscape and nature themes, and fantasies – guided by the principle of diversity in material and technique. Selected works from the exhibition will be on display. Drawing is integral to Kjarval’s entire oeuvre, and is in fact central to his expression, and to his creative thinking and exploration of reality and imagination that it entails. Kjarval was an extraordinarily gifted draughtsman, and at an early age he realized the importance of drawing and its close relationship with perception, the creative process, and inner life.

Loop
An expert-led guided tour of the work Loop by Tumi Magnússon. The work brings together all the different working methods that the artist has adopted over time, in his paintings and photographs from the 1990s as well as video works from the last 20 years. He joins different things together, pulls them apart, turns situations upside down, changes speed and equates something tiny with something huge.
