Curator Aldís Arnardóttir will talk about the exhibition Facets of Life.

Ásgerður Búadóttir (1920-2014) was a pioneer of woven art in Iceland, her work combines ancient craft techniques and the independent creation of modern art. Ásgerður mainly worked with Icelandic wool and during the 1970s her magnificent tapestries drew well-deserved attention for their original use of material, where wool and horsehair create a whole, with a rich materiality.

In Icelandic. Free with admission.  

Free entrance with a museum ticket and for holders of Annual Pass/Culture Pass.
