The Museum Of Design And Applied Art in Gardabaer is Iceland's national collection devoted to design and the applied arts, covering objects that range from furniture and product design to ceramics, textiles and graphic work. The museum occupies a setting in Gardabaer, the town just south of Reykjavik known for its green, low-rise residential streets, so a visit fits easily into a half day spent out of the capital's centre. Visitors come to see how Icelandic makers and designers have shaped everyday life through craft and industry, and to catch the temporary shows that put contemporary work alongside pieces from the permanent collection. Its specialist focus makes it a natural stop for anyone with an interest in Nordic design, architecture or craft, and its proximity to Reykjavik means it can be paired with the city's other cultural sights without spending hours in transit. Exhibitions are the main draw, so it pays to check what is on before setting out.
