Iceland was, for the most part, settled from Ireland and Scotland (a few Norsemen moved to the British isles and settled there and went with their familes and associates (mostly Irish/Scottish) to Iceland) so we have more in common with you than with the Scandinavians.

Sometime in March I think. And yes - this is always held in Gerðarsafn. Joerg – not sure of the dates – I haven’t seen them advertised anywhere. Sometime in March I think.

I like those photography exhibitions - particularly with photos from Iceland, of course. Visiting the Museum of Photography in Reykjavik is always obligatory for me, when there is an interesting exhibition running, while I'm in town. As far as I understand, the annual press photography exhibition is running in the Gerðarsafn museum in Kópavogur. Are the dates already given?

Sometimes it takes s0mething big to jar you out of your habits of perception, and view something as if new.
