Travel: Reykjavik Art Museum Kjarvalsstaðir
The Reykjavik Art Museum Kjarvalsstaðir has some stunning pieces. We walked here from their other Hafnarhus location and it took about 35 minutes. The day we visited it was a little cool and rainy, yet with quality jackets, we were a-okay to walk! The art museum’s building is worth checking out for it’s spacious nature and light filled cafe. It’s built like an H, with the middle section moved up a bit. The whole inside of the building is flooded with windows to bring in…

Travel: Reykjavik Art Museum Hafnarhus
Reykjavik Art Museum Hafnarhus is a gallery full of modern painting, mixed-medium art, and abstract sculptures. Some of the pieces evoke childlike wonder while others are confusing and difficult to understand. All in all, that’s art, through, right?! I think so! Okay, let’s check out this art museum. Reykjavik Art Museum Hafnarhus First up, the entrance – look at this place! It’s a gallery, for sure! The first peek we have inside the Hafnarhus reminds me of a prison we visited in Phnom Penh, Cambodia…

Travel: Muse Soumaya
Museo Soumaya is a must see in Mexico City. This place is huge, free, and one museum you won’t want to miss. We spent about 2 hours here and I could have easily spent about 3-4, yet I’d need a lot of snacks. If you’ve never heard of the Museo Soumaya I’m sure you’ve seen the building, right? Those hexagons are iconic! The building is huge and there are 7 levels, including the entrance – it’s a deceptive building. Okay, let’s check out some photos!…

Museo de Arte Moderno There is a cost to enter – roughly 5$ Canadian, and well worth it. Oh, and the museum is free on Sundays! We couldn’t visit on the Sunday…
