Reykjavík Art Museum Kjarvalsstaðir

Beautiful building and architecture. The exhibitions present mostly Icelandic artists which I would say is quite valuable in terms of curiosity. It fulfills the purpose of the museum I guess. Not sure it makes it attractive enough. If you get a ticket for this museum you'll be able to visit 2 more with the same ticket: 3 in total. Make sure you do that in 24h which is the length of time they allow to use the same ticket. It's definitely worh it. One of the other museums is contemporary and modern art.

This review is of the cafe, best mushroom soup we've ever had and the rest of the food was very good. Perfect service. The museum was lovely too and we enjoyed hearing the musical presentations.

the exhibition ‚From Home‘ is very recommendable. also the exhibition ‚Kjarval and the 20th Century- When Modernity Anachord’ was very informative 👍

Although this was my least favorite of the three art museum locations, that's only personal taste. The space itself is massive and clearly a meeting point for locals to chill out with coffee and enjoy the sun (while it lasts!). There were two massive exhibits that went into depth on the local artists, which is all I really need. Not as gorgeous + inspiring as the other two though.

Small but perfectly formed. The building is beautiful set in a park. The two exhibitions were interesting and meaningful. Very enjoyable visit.

We visited the art Museum the last two days of our museum discoveries, 9 museums in 1 and a half day, and I'm very happy we did because it was quite interesting. Unfortunately only a couple of galleries were available to the public as the rest of the museum was under some sort of renovation but still it was a very positive and rewarding experience. I would most definitely recommend a visit to the museum.

Kjarvalsstaðir, a part of the Reykjavík Art Museum that houses the works of one of Iceland’s most influential and recognised artists, Jóhannes S. Kjarval ... who was a legend in his own time and one of the nation's most beloved artists throughout time! The exhibitions at Kjarvalsstaðir focus primarily on paintings and sculptures of the established masters of modern art. Presently a special exhibition, Eternal Recurrence, that contains selected works by Jóhannes S. Kjarval will be on show until 19.09.2021. The museum's building is a typical example of Nordic modernism and looks onto the beautiful Klambratún (garden) ...that you can see from the museum's Café, that is really nice for lunch, snacks or coffee with treats. There is also a Museum Store in the lobby as well as a lovely family-activity space, the Idea Lab. I totally recommend a visit. 👍😊👍

One of the 3 Reykjavik Art Museums to visit and pay only once to visit all three within 24 hours! This museum has a nice cafe to have a slice of an Icelandic cake after enjoying Kjarval’s abstract Icelandic landscape painting!
