About Gerðarsafn

Gerðarsafn is the art museum in Kopavogur, and its collection and exhibitions are the reason visitors make the trip out from the Icelandic capital area. The museum sits in a part of Kopavogur that has become a small cultural quarter, and the galleries draw people who want to see Icelandic art in a calm setting rather than in a busy downtown hall. Exhibitions change through the year, so a visit can be planned around what is showing. Because the museum is in Kopavogur itself, staying close by means the art is a short walk from the door rather than a day trip, and several of the hotels near Gerðarsafn are within a few minutes on foot. Guests often combine a morning in the galleries with the surrounding streets, which is one reason this pocket of Kopavogur appeals to travellers who prefer a quieter base than the capital's centre.
