My favorite museums

  • Einar Jónsson Sculpture garden and museum

    As you walk through Reykjavík, one of the things you might notice are loads of statues that are scattered around. Einar Jónsson, a famous Icelandic sculpturist, made at least around 60% of them. One of them is the statue of Leifur Eiríksson, that is standing proudly over Arnarhóll, the hill close to where Harpa is. However, there is a whole museum dedicated to his work. The building looks like a castle and the interior design will blow you away. There is also a big garden behind the museum, filled with his most famous sculptures.
