In this first phase of the exhibition Millennium, a variety of pieces from the collection of the National Gallery, from the 19th century to the present, are displayed. Selected landscape paintings by the pioneers of Icelandic visual arts, abstract paintings and sculptures from the mid 20th century, and contemporary art in all its diversity are presented. Landscape and national heritage are pronounced in Icelandic art, while international trends set their mark on the artwork.
This exhibition, mounted by the National Gallery in the loft and staircase, is the first step taken towards utilizing the exhibition spaces in the Culture House for Icelandic art through the ages. When the exhibit is complete it will cover art from medieval to contemporary times and will then incorporate works in the custody of the National Museum of Iceland and the Árni Magnússon Institute of Icelandic Studies.
