Why Visit

Did You Know?
Ásmundur designed the museum building himself with no formal architectural training — the domed modernist structure was considered bizarre when built in 1942 but is now recognized as architectural innovation.
The Sculptor Who Built His Own Temple
Ásmundur designed and built his studio like a modernist temple — white domes rising from Laugardalur valley. He wanted a building as bold as his sculptures.

The Modernist Building Interior
The interior of Ásmundur's building — domed ceilings, geometric spaces, natural light — is as much a work of art as the sculptures. He designed every detail.
The Sculpture Garden in Summer
Summer afternoons in the sculpture garden with monumental works among green lawns and trees are extraordinarily peaceful — one of the most serene spots in Reykjavík.
