XMAS PARTY

The National Centre for Cultural Heritage, Hverfisgata 15, welcomes the whole family on the last Sunday of Advent, to a diverse and cozy entertainment.

The program is free of charge and starts at 14:00 with a puppet show. It is the Sögusvuntan Christmas exhibition; Jesúbarnið (the Christ child), based on a Russian Christmas Carol by Leo Tolstoy. This is a warm, feel good story in a true Christmas spirit the performance includes harp playing and a puppet show. Hallveig Thorlacius is the puppeteer and tells the story and Marion Herrera plays the harp.

At 15.00, Jón Baldur Hlíðberg, a drawing artist, introduces the book Íslenskar kynjaskepnur (Icelandic fable creatures). His illustrations from the book are exhibited in the reception area and the restaurant of the Centre and the introduction may be regarded as the artists’ guidance through the drawings at the exhibition. Sigurður Ægisson wrote the book text. The presentation is suitable for the whole family.

At 16.00 there wil l be a moment of togetherness by the Christmas tree in cooperation with the Intercultural Centre. We’re expecting good company, to sing for us and perhaps we will all be singing together.
