Ljósmyndasafn Reykjavíkur

Over het museum

The Reykjavík Museum of Photography is one of the main venues for photography in Iceland, both as a historical archive and repository and in the field of contemporary photography. The museum is on the sixth floor of Grófarhús at Tryggvagata 15, in the same building as the Reykjavík City Library (Borgarbókasafnið).

In the museum's exhibition spaces, the main hall and the space Skotið in the foyer, temporary exhibitions show various periods of history and the latest contemporary photography. On three touchscreens at the reception, images from the collection, sorted by theme, show changes in society and culture over more than a century.

The museum is part of the Reykjavík City Museum (Borgarsögusafn Reykjavíkur), which was formed in 2014 when Árbæjarsafn, the Settlement Exhibition, the Reykjavík Maritime Museum, the Reykjavík Museum of Photography and Viðey merged.
