Inner and Outer Reality – What Animal Am I on the Inside?
Einar Jónsson’s sculpture Rest depicts a large face partially concealed by basalt columns. We will study the work carefully—the more we look, the more we see. Afterwards, we will create masks that cover half the face. The masks will take the form of animals, prompting us to consider the question: “If I were an animal on the inside, what animal would I be?”
The Gallery encourages families to visit and view 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 Krummi Kids' Club is a diverse and fun monthly program where kids can learn about the National Gallery's collection, create art, and play in a nurturing environment. The National Gallery of Iceland gives a warm welcome to all children and guardians!
