The Sigurjón Ólafsson Museum was founded in 1984 by the artist's widow
Birgitta Spur who had his studio and their home
converted to a museum building, opened for public in 1988. In 2012
the museum, including a large collection of Sigurjón
Ólafsson's sculptures, was donated to the National Gallery
of Iceland and was run as a division of it for almost a decade.
Since December 2021 the Museum has been run by Gríma ltd., a management
company directed by Sigurjón Ólafsson's family
members.
The museum is dedicated to
exhibiting Sigurjón
Ólafssons's sculptures - alone or in dialogue with other artists.
It also houses a vast amount of biographical material and is the research
center of Sigurjón Ólafsson's work. In addition to housing
different exhibitions the museum sponsors
various cultural programs.
