This is the twelfth exhibition with the title Creation of Childhood set up in Akureyri Art Museum. The aim is to promote museum education and to present and stimulate creative work by children from the age of five to sixteen. Participants each time are children and artists as well as Akureyri Museum / Toy Museum.
This year the sculptor Sólveig Baldursdóttir was invited to participate in the project. Her solo exhibition Moments – Back in Time, opened in the museum in November 2024 and in February 2025 it will transform into a new one: Creation of Childhood 2025. There her sculptures are exhibited in a new context, communicating with the work of the children.
Participating playschool this time is Hólmasól and the elementary schools Giljaskóli, Lundarskóli, Oddeyrarskóli and Síðuskóli. This winter the children visited the museum and created their work for the exhibition under the guidance of Baldursdóttir. They got to know the artist and used her sculptures as an inspiration for their own artworks. Curator:
Heiða Björk Vilhjálmsdóttir.
