She will also talk about a new project that has started in the museum's research space and is called Tiltekt.
Welcome and happy celebration!

On the occasion of International Museum Day, 18 May at 16-17, Brynhildur Pálsdóttir, designer and another curator of SUND, will be guiding the exhibition.
The most important public good in Iceland lies in the hot water. The most interesting public spaces are the swimming pools. The pool culture is about quality of life and public health, sports, games, relaxation and entertainment, body culture, civilization and communication. Daily life has traditionally left its mark on the swimming pools and turned them into a fitness center, classroom, social home, playground and spa.

Sunday 1 May at 13 there is a claim card workshop in the Design Museum of Iceland.

The demands and wishes, hopes and desires of kids today and kids of the settlement age will be discussed and everyone can have their say. Claim cards will then be designed and prepared and the joy of creativity will prevail.
Dagrún Ósk Jónsdóttir, an ethnographer, and Ásgerður Heimisdóttir, a craftswoman and designer, lead the workshop, which is intended for the whole family. The workshop is free and part of the project Við langeldinn / Við eldhúsborðið, which is funded by the Icelandic Children's Cultural Fund and is intended to make children think about what is similar and different with the lives of children during the settlement age and today.
