Ghosts in Icelandic folklore

Entitled “Skemmtilegt er myrkrið” (“Darkness is fun”), the exhibition consists of nine posters about different kinds of ghosts in Icelandic folklore, by Jón Jónsson and Dagrún Ósk Jónsdóttir, with illustrations by Sunneva Guðrún Þórðardóttir. Types of ghosts, such as útburður, móri and skotta, are described with short readable text and vividly portrayed in the illustrations. The exhibition has been set up at the Hnyðja innovation centre and the Magic and witchcraft exhibition in Hólmavík in 2020.
