In the year 2013, the Museum of Design and Applied Art received the sketches and drawings of the work of graphic designer Gísli B. Björnsson, along with files, letters, photographs and research material. The goal of the work being carried out in the Behind the Scenes space is to register and archive the compilation to the museum’s collection. Visitors can watch as items are unpacked, photographed, entered into a collection register and finally packed for conservation. This archiving is an exciting process that expands horizons and sparks connections, ideas, conversations and memories.

The archiving is managed by Katla Einarsdóttir and Una María Magnúsdóttir.

The project is support d by The Museum Council of Iceland and the advertising agency Hvíta Húsið.
