Design March in Iceland
Every March in Iceland, there is a design exhibit in the public spaces. It is called HönnunarMars in Icelandic. Locals and tourists alike can take a look of the different works of designers (not limited to Icelandic designers) for free. Clothing, furniture, tableware, musical instruments and all sorts of things. Here are the works exhibited in Galleri Grotta in the Seltjarnarnes library.

The exhibit is from March 22 to April 22, 2017. Here is a comprehensive list of the works, including the prices for interested buyers.
