About the exhibition<\/h3>\n

The world<\/strong> of children’s books has a lot of exciting things to offer. Reading for the sake of enjoyment can, among other things, steer readers onto new paths, stimulate the imagination, expand the vocabulary, and contribute to empathy and open-mindedness. Reading is the key to learning, and children’s interest in reading can be reached effectively through play and creativity.<\/p>\n

Children’s books build bridges<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exhibition Children’s Book Flood is made for visitors to actively take part. The Midgard Serpent (Mi\u00f0gar\u00f0sormur) takes the children on a creative journey from one place to another. Children’s books build bridges between the places and the travellers make their own passports that they stamp at each new destination.<\/p>\n

There are all kinds of heroes<\/strong><\/p>\n

“There are all kinds of heroes” is an art workshop for the creation of new children\u2019s books characters.<\/p>\n

Sail Away On The Children’s Book Flood<\/strong><\/p>\n

The visitors of the exhibition sail away on an adventure in a Viking ship whilst getting a story read to them. A treasure is hidden on a desert island and the children get to write a message in a bottle. At the Story Making Workshop, the children get the opportunity to write and draw their own stories, as well as take part in a very enjoyable children’s books quiz, where you can win a book.<\/p>\n

We are all aliens<\/strong><\/p>\n

In connection with the Story Making Workshop, there is a dark cave for visiting travellers. In the dark, there are various things hidden and space brings imagination to life. After the exploration of the cave, you can lie down and dream under a starry sky of galaxies and black holes.<\/p>\n
