Wednesday, May 20th marks the birthday of sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson (b. 1893), the Reykjavík Art Museum invites visitors to a free guided tour on this occasion of Ásmundur’s Sculpture Garden at Sigtún.

A fun guided tour for all ages, where we explore the sculptures in the garden and learn about the colorful career of this beloved artist.

Ásmundur devoted great care and effort to perfecting the sculpture garden at his home in Sigtún. He added new works or enlarged older ones and installed them in the garden using permanent materials able to withstand the Icelandic climate.

Ásmundur donated his art collection and his house at Sigtún to the City of Reykjavík, and the museum is now part of the Reykjavík Art Museum.
