Reykjavík Art Museum Ásmundarsafn
Reykjavík · Iceland
Sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson's domed Reykjavík studio and garden, part of the Reykjavík Art Museum. Nestled within extensive gardens in Reykjavík, it preserves an extraordinary record of Ásmundur Sveinsson's work and life for visitors to discover.
What makes Reykjavík Art Museum Ásmundarsafn truly special is the dome-shaped studio. The influence of Modernist is evident throughout. The space has been carefully maintained to preserve its mid-20th century character, ensuring that something essential about the original atmosphere remains intact.
Visiting Reykjavík Art Museum Ásmundarsafn is a genuinely rewarding experience. The garden setting adds considerably to the atmosphere — there is something particularly affecting about encountering Ásmundur Sveinsson'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.

Beautifully preserved and thoughtfully presented. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and the dome-shaped studio was impeccable. A genuinely special experience.
Beautifully preserved and thoughtfully presented. It's hard to believe you're in the middle of Reykjavík once you step inside. Don't miss the dome-shaped studio on your way out.
