The Sigurjón Ólafsson Museum is dedicated to exhibiting works by the Icelandic sculptor, Sigurjón Ólafsson. It was founded in 1984 by the artist's widow Birgitta Spur who had his studio at Laugarnes converted into an exhibition space and to house a large collection of his works. These include sculptures, sketches, and drawings, as well as biographical material. In addition to its exhibition of Ólafsson's works, the museum sponsors various cultural programmes.
Born in Iceland, Sigurjón Ólafsson (1908-1982) studied and worked in Denmark 1928-1945. After his return to Iceland, he lived and worked in Laugarnes, Reykjavík.
