Originally build in 1908 in order to house the National Library, the National Archives, the collection of the Natural History Museum of Iceland and the nations collection of antique relics, it today presents the exhibition Resistance, featuring treasures of the collection of the National Gallery of Iceland.
The word resistance refers to opposition in general, but it may also be read in the context of physics: the measure of a conductive material’s opposition to current flow. Resistance also signifies opposition to consumption, which we must all learn to take onboard. And resistance references essential action which must be taken by the inhabitants of this planet, against climate change.
