    What To Expect

    Eyþór, the passionate curator behind Old Icelandic Books, dedicates his life to rescuing and preserving Iceland’s literary treasures. With a collection of over 500 rare books, primarily Icelandic but with fascinating pieces from other regions, he ensures that these historical artifacts are not only safeguarded but also shared with the world. Eyþór employs meticulous restoration techniques, such as delicately washing the pages of centuries-old books, to breathe new life into these invaluable works. His commitment extends beyond preservation. He actively educates others about the cultural and historical significance of Iceland’s literary heritage. Eyþór’s work will take center stage in an upcoming exhibition this summer, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore Iceland’s rich literary past and appreciate the craftsmanship of book restoration.
