Top Things to do in Miðborg
Top 5 Art Museums in Miðborg, Capital Region
Reykjavik bears the distinction of being the world’s northernmost capital, and for many Icelandic visitors it also serves as a gateway to the rugged adventure options beyond. Recharge after outdoor pursuits in one of the many geothermal springs or luxurious indoor spas. We appreciate Reykjavik’s open-minded and energetic culture that includes a hip and internationally recognized music and arts scene, great food and notoriously "enthusiastic" nightlife.

This sculpture garden and museum is steps away from the landmark Hallgrimskirkja church. It's filled with interesting, thought provoking art. The garden is calm and secluded from the outside noise of tourists visiting the church. One of my favourite places in Reykjavik. This garden with sculptures and the nearby museum have something magical. Free entrance to the garden , so definitely don't miss it.

The Culture house, which is a part of the National museum has always been considered one of Iceland's most beautiful buildings. The main exhibition called Points of View takes guests on a journey through the Icelandic visual world of past and present. Your ticket to the Culture House is also valid to the National Museum of Iceland.

Very unique. Small. Near City Hall. Some memorable displays. Several levels but accessible with small elevator.
5. Reykjavik Art Museum Hafnarhus
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 500 reviews
The old harbour warehouse, Hafnarhus, offers a progressive exhibition program with local and international contemporary artists. The works of key figures, as well as established and emerging current artists are presented in six galleries. Hafnarhus is also home to the works of Erro (b. 1932), a significant player in the international pop art scene. In 1989 Erro gave the City of Reykjavik a large collection of his works, a total of about 2,000 items, including paintings, watercolours, graphic art, sculptures, collages and other works spanning the artist's entire career from his youth. Hafnarhus is located in the oldest part of Reykjavik, where the town’s boats and first docks lay. The building was erected in the 1930s and at the time it was one of the largest buildings in the country. The house was renovated by Studio Grandi architects in 1998-2000 to house Reykjavik Art Museum. Hafnarhus Kitchen is temporarily closed. Meanwhile we offer free coffee for visitors!

A possible shelter during the cold arctic wind, for people really interested in the modern art. Nice gift shop with T-shirts on discount.
