The place to go if you want to see some contemporary Icelandic art - featuring a mixture of both emerging and established artists with abstract, art, installations and exhibitions.

The first and therefore the oldest art museum in Iceland is Kjarvalsstaðir.  Located right in the city center, the museum houses the works of Jóhannes S. Kjarval, one of Iceland's most recognised and influential Icelandic artist.

The museum Ásmundarsafn is a hard one to miss since the beautiful and massive sculptures are located in the garden outside of the museum that is a work of art itself.
