Reykjavik City Museum open - events postponed

Covid-19 Welfare

""

Reykjavík City Museum, the Library, and the Reykjavík Art Museum will be open at usual times but some events will be cancelled or postponed.

Although there is a ban on public events the Reykjavik City museums will be open. The museums are only expecting few guests at a time and their premises also allow for sufficient distance between guests. However, museum events will be cancelled or postponed as of Monday 16th March, while the ban is in effect. The Coast Guard Vessel Óðinn, which belongs to the Reykjavík Maritime Museum, will be closed due to limited space in the vessel.

There is no festival organized by the city over the next four weeks, but the status will be assessed for the Children's Culture Festival and other festivities as things develop.

The emphasis is on increased cleaning in all of the city's museums as well as access to sanitizers, for guests and staff. Touch surfaces, such as handrails, bags, touch screens and door handles, will be cleaned at least twice a day, as well as toys and other things.

As before, we welcome all guests and we hope they will enjoy their visit despite this difficult situation.
