There鈥檚 something immensely playful about the vast collection of sculptures by 脕smundur Sveinsson (1893鈥1982) housed in the studio and museum he designed 鈥 the rounded, white 脕smundarsafn.

Soaring skylights and white marble give way to a fun dome, where the acoustics create the museum's strict 'must-sing policy'. Getting into the spirit of things, the council added an igloo-shaped bus stop out the front.
