Reykjavik Art Museum

The Reykjavik Art Museum offers contemporary art by its locals, and has a permanent display of work by an Icelandic artist named Erro.

Erro's art is striking. All of water color paintings are in bold, bright colors, and some have a very strong political message, anti-Bush, anti-capitalism, etc. The collection of his work was called "The Forgotten Future." Much of his work was sort of "comicky" but it was definitely thought provoking, and gave me a more clear picture of what Europeans may think of the US and its political system and culture.

The Erro exhibit was the only exhibit I saw at the time, I believe another room was under construction.

The museum is open from 10am to 5pm. The price of admission is 500kr. Admission is free on Thursdays.
