Akureyri Art Museum

Interesting museum, but not for the adult price. The art display was on average, not the best or the worst, basically just art being represented by artists who got recently many awards on their work. Their interactive art activity was fun to do and you were able to send a card with a message and a drawing of your voice to your loved ones, which is nice. At least 18 and under were free though. If you’re interested in Icelandic art or want something basic to see and spend some time on, I would recommend this place. If you’re looking for just some good art to look at, I would recommend elsewhere.

I spent about 30 minutes in this museum. It has a nice selection of contemporary Icelandic art, and the exhibits were all intriguing to look at. Additionally, the gift store was a treasure trove-- lots of work by local poets and / or situated in the country's punk scene.

I thoroughly enjoyed a couple of hours here. The advice to start at the 4th. floor ensured a variety of experience and sense of flow in working my way down. I know exhibits change but the museum placed each one appropriately considering light, visibility, and space for visitor movement. I was impressed by the age range and number of local and regional artists represented. The museum's windows connected nicely with the town as did the very pleasant coffee shop.

It is great that the town has a art museum. The day we visited it , the exhibition was mostly focused on contemporary art than modern art. Interesting pieces, specifically the coton paintings by Denya Zakn where your mind gets lost in their darkness. I also liked Jonas Vidar Sveinsson untitled white painting. On 3 floors, starts from the 4th

Huge area on multiple levels with many thought-provoking displays. There is also a place to store bags, bathrooms and a small cafe.

I was stopping by in Akureyri for only a few hours and this was a lovely little museum to visit. I came less than an hour before closing but the man behind the desk was very friendly and gave me information on how to get the most out of my short visit. You can get an idea of all the exhibits in 30-60 minutes. They had a wonderful, moving exhibition on the top floor called The Visitors that I would recommend to anyone. The local artists and children's work they were displaying was quite charming too. Enjoy some coffee at the cafe before you go! It's delicious!

Interesting works by Icelandic artists. Very small museum. Lovely café. Visit knit shop across the street. If your in to knitting!

Nice breakfast, closest to our accommodation. Coffees, teas, brunch platter, various poached eggs dishes on sourdough toast and pastries.
