Sunday Gallery Talk and Workshop for Children and Families | Big Little City – Images of Reykjavík

After the guided tour, visitors are invited to continue to Hvammur, our family workshop space, where children and adults can create together, explore ideas through play, and enjoy a relaxed and enjoyable time.

On the occasion of Reykjavík’s 240th anniversary in 2026, the city’s appearance throughout history is examined in a summer exhibition at Kjarvalsstaðir.

We present new contemporary artworks, showcase interesting works from the museum’s collection, and borrow curious objects from other museums and institutions. Here, we see the city evolve from a trading post and fishing village into a multicultural center of culture and tourism, depicted in a lively, fragmented, and ever-changing way. The exhibition raises questions about identity, urban planning, social structure, and cultural self-perception. The tangible is displayed alongside the lyrical, the historical, and the artistic, the personal and the collective.

Admission with museum ticket. Free for Annual pass- and Culture Card holders, free for visitors under 18.
