On the occasion of Culture Night, entry to the Reykjavík Museum of Photography will be free from 13:00-20:00 on 23 August. Two exhibitions are currently on display at the museum. The exhibition "Half a Century Through the Lens" and the exhibition "The Women's Day Off – October 24, 1975". The exhibition "Half a Century Through the Lens" explores press photographer Gunnar V. Andrésson’s career, that lasted more than fifty years – from 1966 to 2017. His photographs, published in daily newspapers Tíminn, Vísir, DV (Dagblaðið Vísir) and Fréttablaðið and on the visir.is news website, provide invaluable documentation of life in Iceland. At the exhibition, the visitor progresses through time: the photos have the ambiance of their era, clearly manifesting the changes that have taken place over the years – whether in the environment, or in diverse fields of society. The exhibition "The Women's Day Off – October 24, 1975" is currently on display in Skotið. It has been 50 years since women all over Iceland stopped their paid and unpaid jobs and brought the country to a standstill. Women's Day Off was held on October 24 to protest various forms of discrimination against women in the labor market and to draw attention to the contributions of women to society. The photographs in the exhibition were all taken on Women's Day, held at Lækjartorg on October 24, 1975, where it is estimated that 25,000 women attended the meeting. This is likely one of the largest outdoor gatherings in Iceland's history. The event attracted worldwide attention. Welcome to the Reykjavík Museum of Photography on Culture Night! Accessibility is good at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography, and guide dogs are welcome in the museum.
