AKUREYRI ART MUSEUM

Akureyri Art Museum is in the town centre; in the creative and bustling Listagil (Art Street). It aims to promote visual arts and culture in the local community as well as in a wider global context. The museum hosts diverse art exhibitions by local as well as international artists, featuring everything from paintings and photography to performance art and installations. The two former factory buildings that make up Akureyri Art Museum have been joined through a connecting annex, which houses Ketilkaffi, a lunch-and-coffee place much favoured by locals.

Several elegant galleries can be found on 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor, offering diverse exhibitions. The museum shop is located on the ground floor where the entrance allows access for the disabled.
