The House of Collections

The Power of Seeing – Do you want to explore visual literacy?
This is a collaboration between The National Gallery of Iceland and the The Association of Art History and Theory, with art historians inviting the public to the House of Collections to explore the methods of visual literacy. Guests will have the opportunity to examine works of art from the National Gallery´s collection and participate in art historian-led discussions on the works. In this way participants are given keys to accessing and enjoying visual art in any form. Come and discover Icelandic art, you are very welcome!
Attn. The events will be held in Icelandic.

Blue is This Little Flower

A fun drawing workshop inspired by the works of Eggert Pétursson. The workshop will be located in the House of Collection´s exhibition space and will take its references from artwork in the museum´s collection.  
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.
