This week in Snorrastofa ( week 49) we are open, as usual, all weekdays from 10 to 17 hours. Notice Thursday ( 4th December) evening a concert in Reykholt church at 8 pm. The concert will be influenced by Christmas and can really be recommended.
We are getting into the Christmas mood in the Snorrastofa guest reception, so if you are looking for a gift for someone very special, this is the place to shop. And by the way, yes she bought the beautiful necklace she is holding in front of her in the picture below :)
My name is Sigrun Guttormsdóttir Þormar. I live inBorgarfjord west Iceland, where I work as a project leader at the cultural medieval center Snorrastofa in Reykholt. For those that don't know, Reykholt was the home of Snorri Sturluson, medieval writer and poet whom lived in Reykholt from 1206 to 1241. He was the author of the Edda, Heimskringla (History of the kings of Norway) and Egils Saga Skallagrimsson. For me Snorri is the most amazing employer whom I proudly serve and constantly present in my every day life! He is absolutely still going strong at 835 years of age. Please come and visit us at www.snorrastofa.is. We are open all weekdays during the winter and all days during summer. We have an exhibition about Snorri Sturluson and offer lectures for groups. Hope to see you soon :)
