The Einar Jónsson Museum was the first art museum to open in Reykjavik, in 1923. The collection showcases both the work and private collection of the first sculptor from Iceland to gain wide acclaim – Einar Jónsson. He bequeathed his entire collection to the people of Iceland, and today it is housed in his home/studio, as well as a purpose-built museum that adjoins the property. Einar Jónsson has a number of public works around the Reykjavik area, including one opposite this museum, in front of the Hallgrímskirkja Church.
The Einar Jónsson Museum holds over 300 pieces of art representing the sculptor’s entire 60-year body of work. The museum also includes a garden, where visitors can always stroll quietly and experience Einar Jónsson’s work in a tranquil setting at no charge. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 2 to 5pm. There is a shop on site, selling casts of some of Jónsson’s works.
