What is the National Museum of Iceland all about?
Is there a visit to the National Museum ahead? The National Museum has many facets that are not obvious to the general visitor. What happens behind the scenes? What do the people who work in the museum do? How should exhibitors behave? Through the videos you can get a glimpse of one thing or another about this museum of cultural monuments. The videos are intended for students of all ages. They are useful both for those who plan to visit the museum and also for those who simply want to get to know the museum better.
Gúi visits the National Museum
Gúi is passionate about museums and here he leads us far and wide through the mysteries of the National Museum. The exhibition hall itself stands on South Street in Reykjavik, but we also saw glimpses of several houses preserved by the National Museum in the countryside, stopping at Keldum and taking a look into the town and the church there. The Museum's Preservation and Research Centre houses a variety of objects and a collection of human works, and the Icelandic Photography Gallery not only preserves photographs but also sculptures and paintings, etc.

Að því tilefni var gerð heimildarmynd þar sem skyggnst var á bak við tjöldin í fjölbreyttri starfsemi safnsins.
