Einar Jónsson Museum
Reykjavík · Iceland
The Reykjavík studio and garden of Iceland's first professional sculptor, Einar Jónsson, full of mystical symbolist works. A place of genuine historical and artistic significance, it offers a rare window into Einar Jónsson's work and life.
What makes The Einar Jónsson Museum truly special is the sculpture garden. The influence of Symbolism is evident throughout. The space has been carefully maintained to preserve its early 20th century character, ensuring that something essential about the original atmosphere remains intact.
Visiting The Einar Jónsson Museum is a genuinely rewarding experience. The garden setting adds considerably to the atmosphere — there is something particularly affecting about encountering Einar Jónsson's work and life in a real place rather than a purpose-built gallery. Allow at least an hour and a half to do it justice.
