Gerðarsafn Kópavogur Art Museum is a hidden cultural gem just outside Reykjavik, and it’s so worth a visit if you’re into modern and contemporary art. 🎨 It’s named after Gerður Helgadóttir, one of Iceland’s first female sculptors and a pioneer of abstract art, especially known for her stunning glasswork.
The museum regularly hosts rotating exhibitions featuring Icelandic and international artists, covering everything from paintings and sculptures to photography and mixed media. It’s small and super manageable, so it’s a great place to pop into without feeling overwhelmed. 🖼️
One of the best parts? The museum sits right next to Kópavogskirkja, and you can head to Króníkan Café inside the museum for a cosy coffee or lunch after exploring. ☕ A perfect little art-and-chill afternoon!
