Troll Play and Clay Workshop with Ūgh and Bõögâr and Egill Sæbjörnsson
January 25th, 14:00–16:00
A fun kids' club event where we make trolls and troll jewelry out of clay and listen to a reading by Egill Sæbjörnsson, the visual artist, from his newly translated book about the trolls Ūgh and Bõögâr. The folklore exhibition Stand Still and Turn to Stone, which features ghosts, elves, and trolls is open in the Project Gallery, where you can see a Egill’s troll ring and imagine the size of a troll!

What Did I Do Today?
February 1st and 15th, 14:00–16:00
We explore our own everyday life and find inspiration from photographs in the exhibition Intimacies in the Everyday. The graphic novel format will be used in the workshop, with photographs also playing a role.

Fly, Fly Butterfly
February 8th and 22nd, 14:00–16:00
We flutter into the Museum, fly through the beautiful installation DeCore by Dodda Maggý, and then create our own butterflies to fly home with. We reflect on nature, symmetry, and patterns that appear to us every day.

Fly on the Wall
March 1st and 15th, 14:00–16:00
We will explore the work The Victorious Army by Magnús Tómasson in the exhibition Looking Inward, Looking Outward and a variety of flies in the form of sculptures will spring up from the workshop at the museum. Flies matter in the world, and it is interesting to reflect on their role in the ecosystem. They can also be colorful and in many sizes and shapes, just like all of us.

Glacier Mice
March 8th and 22nd, 14:00–16:00
We meet in the Museum, enter an ice cave and explore glaciers of all sizes and shapes before creating our own glacier mice – the beautiful plants that gather on the sunny side of stones on glaciers – from stones, wool, and thread.
