The Icelandic Folk and Outsider Art Museum

The Icelandic Folk and Outsider Art Museum collects artworks by artists who have hitherto been seen as outside the cultural mainstream, often also called naïve or brut – artists who have a real and direct connection to an original creative spirit; true, unspoiled and free. The core collection consists today of about 140,000 artworks and sketches by over 300 artists, dating from the mid-19th century to the present.

The Museum is located in North Iceland, on the eastern side of Eyjafjörður, just about 10 minutes’ drive from the town of Akureyri. 

10 to 12 new exhibitions every year. Appartment to rent

Opening hours: 10.oo - 17oo from first Saturday in May until second Sunday in September.
