Episode 313 - MUSEUM OF DESIGN AND APPLIED ART, GARÐABÆR

Today, RÚV English Radio is in Garðabær.

The town's Museum of Design and Applied Art (https://www.honnunarsafn.is/en/about-the-museum) collects, archives and shares Icelandic design from the year 1900 to the present day.

Permanent exhibitions include JEWELLERY (https://www.honnunarsafn.is/en/syningar/jewellery), and AT HOME IN THE DESIGN MUSEUM (https://www.honnunarsafn.is/en/syningar/at-home-in-the-design-museum), which displays at any one time around 200 of over 5000 different items, displaying as a "blueprint of a home where different objects from different eras come together side by side."

Darren was guided around the museum by director Sigríður Sigurjónsdóttir.

Listen out on RÚV English Radio in future weeks for an interview with artist-in-residence at the museum, Marta Staworowska (https://www.honnunarsafn.is/en/vidburdir/marta-staworowska-goldsmith)
