The National Gallery of Iceland offers a creative and exciting art course for children in its new art workshop at Fríkirkjuvegur 7.

The course is inspired by the museum's exhibitions, where participants will explore the artworks while focusing on enhancing their color and form perception. Children will have the opportunity to use a variety of materials and work in different mediums such as painting and sculpture.

The aim of the course is to encourage children to approach visual art with greater confidence and curiosity. Teaching will take place through hands-on experiences, discussions, and artistic creation. At the end of the course, an exhibition will be held for friends and family to showcase the results of the children’s work.

Children should wear clothing suitable for painting, splashing, and having fun! The workshop is accessible to all.

Looking Inward, Looking Outward – 140 years of the National Gallery of Iceland

To mark the 140th anniversary of the founding of the National Gallery of Iceland, the museum will devote its galleries to a selection of outstanding works by approximately 100 artists from the collection. Each of the four halls of the museum at Fríkirkjuvegur will center on a theme: form, the individual, society, and the natural world. The exhibition will reflect on the importance of the museum as a place for preservation and a living forum for the meaningful exchange of ideas.


Note: This event will be held in Icelandic

It’s wet outside!  
We’re so lucky to have all kinds of weather here in Iceland. Even on the same day! A fun workshop on the House of Collection’s fourth floor where you can find a storm happening high up on a plinth, create cloud images and locate as many different weather systems as you can. We’ll pull all your observations into one image in the exhibition’s educational space.
