Hi! The English site is only a beta for now and still has many errors (especially in names and locations).
We are working hard to fix them and making more content available than ever before so expect constant updates.
Aðalstræti 10, a new exhibition addition to the foundational exhibition of the City Museum, is connected with The Settlement Exhibition at Aðalstræti 16 and tells the story of a town becoming a city in an accessible way. The emphasis is on highlighting aspects of Reykjavík's history, shedding light on the everyday life of its residents through time. The approach and content target the range of City History Museum service users as effectively as possible and are intended to encourage thought and inquiry through diverse media.
Planned completion in the second half of 2022
Action completed. On May 7, 2022, an exhibition opened in Aðalstræti 10, the oldest building in the city, linked to the Settlement Exhibition at Aðalstræti 16.
