Episode 113 - THE MUSEUM OF EVERYDAY LIFE
Today, RÚV English is in Ísafjörður - looking at the everyday.
The Westfjords town of Ísafjörður is home to The Museum of Everyday Life, which, as the name suggests, celebrates and explores the items we use every day, and what they say about us and our lives: https://hvers.is/visit/
The museum gathers photos, stories, smells, memories - and footwear - and preserves what they have to tell us: https://hvers.is/manifesto/
The museum is created by artists Vaida and Björg. Darren met with Björg, together with interns Bella and Sophia, to have his senses stimulated and his memories provoked, by the most interesting of everyday items.
You can also listen to this and all other RÚV English programming on Spotify, Apple, or any other podcast place, and subscribe too, to never miss a show.
