The Sigurjón Ólafsson Museum was opened in 1988, following efforts spearheaded by Sigurjón Ólafsson’s widow Brigitta Spur. Ólafsson was born in 1908, on the south coast of Iceland, and graduated from the Danish Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1935. He then returned to Reykjavik. The museum is housed in Ólafsson’s former studio, located on a piece of relatively undeveloped land with unobstructed views of the sea outside Reykjavik.
Though the primary focus of the Sigurjón Ólafsson Museum is the sculptor’s work, visitors will find an array of exhibitions and cultural programmes showcased here throughout the year. An additional service that the Sigurjón Ólafsson Museum provides the greater community is acting as a venue for weekly concerts during the summer months. The museum is easily reached from Reykjavik, whether by a walk along the coast or bus. There is a café on site, offering homemade cakes and other delicious treats.
