Womens Collage Exhibition
Árbraut 31, 540North Iceland
The woman’s college heritage centre was founded by the friends of the woman’s college with support from the local culture fund. The aim of the heritage center is to preserve the history and artifacts from the college that was run for almost a hundred years, from 1879 until 1978.
About 3500 girls attended the college and parts of the building have been restored to its original state. Most of the items found in the collection were donated by former students as well as the relatives of Elín Briem who was the colleges first principal.
Guided tours of the house and exhibitions are available. Hours of Operation: 13-17 weekdays in July. Also on request for groups.
Admission: ISK 700 kr.
