Finissage of Unnar's studio in Ásmundarsafn. Unnar Örn Jónasson Auðarsson has been working in an open studio at Ásmundarsafn Museum since January. Unnar Örn draws inspiration from all forms of historical documentation and has spent the last few weeks researching a unique special collection - Ásbúðarsafn, which is preserved in the National Museum of Iceland and will now publish a book based on his work and research. Wonderland is a project dedicated to the history of Ásmundarsafn. This was the home and studio of sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson (1893-1982), which he designed himself and built in the years 1942-1950. The plot was adjacent to a farm called Undraland (Wonderland). Ásmundur bequeathed the house and his works to the city of Reykjavik after his day, and a museum dedicated to his memory was established there in 1983. During the four decades that the artist worked in the house, it was a scene of vibrant artistic creation. Throughout the year 2025, artists are invited to elaborate on their own works in progress or any state of flux.
