History & Context
Eyjafjörður is one of the longest fjords in Iceland Akureyri bustling with life - Akureyri bustles with life the year round. The town’s 16,000 residents make it the most populous town by far outside the capital city area. Akureyri is an entrepreneuri- al and service centre for all of North Iceland. Two of Iceland’s largest fisheries companies operate there, and the tourism industry is always growing in import- ance. Akureyri is a stone’s throw from many of Iceland’s natural treasures, and the town is a popular place for shorter or longer stops. An estimated 180,000 tourists visit the town each year. Culture & the arts The town’s museums are an inexhaustible so- urce of lore, beauty and entertainment. Artists’ Alley is one of the Akureyri’s most colourful neig- hbourhoods; its exhibitions have won deserved attention. The Folk Museum boasts remarkable exhibits, providing an entertaining perspective on the settled area’s development from the arrival of the first settlers to the present. The Town of Akureyri has fostered some of Iceland’s most beloved writers, such as Davíd Stefánsson, Matthías Jochumsson and Jón Sveinsson (Nonni). Commemorative museums and an information centre are operated in the town: Davídshús, Sigurhædir and Nonnahús. Among other things, Matthías Jochumsson wrote the poem providing the verses of the Iceland’s National Anthem, and Jón Sveinsson is one of Iceland’s most famous authors abroad. Other museums are worth mentioning, such as the Flight Museum and Museum of Industry, and two of the town’s most outstanding institutions, the Akureyri Theatre , the only professional theatre outside the capital city area, and the North Iceland Symphony, should not be forgotten. Summer Art Fest Each year there is a programme of culture and art called Summer Art Fest , which runs from mid-June to the end of August. This provides a colla- borative platform for those organising cultural events in Akureyri during the summer. The Fest opens the way for those wanting to stage cultural events in the town at this time, and the arts society Gilfélagid and the board of Summer Art Fest organise various events. The high point of Summer Art Fest is the Akureyri Arts Vigil held at the end of August. There, all the stops are pulled out and people enjoy fun and culture till the wee hours.
