National Gallery of Iceland (Listasafn Íslands)
This landmark gallery was founded in 1884 in Copenhagen before being moved to Reykjavík. It has no permanent exhibit, but instead pulls from its own collection, the largest and probably most important repository of Icelandic art. Among the 19th- and 20th-century works on display are Iceland’s endless variations of light and natural formations, a window into the country’s history. The museum has a pleasant cafe on the top floor.
