Iceland Diary: Reykjavik’s Street Art

Street art says a lot about a place; It gives you an opening into the soul of a city. In my opinion there is a huge gulf between street art and “graffiti” but you rarely get street art without a prevalence of graffiti. Maybe precisely the openness needed for one breeds the other.

Either way, the buildings of Reykjavik are privy to a huge amount of it. These were some of my highlights: (warning: very photo heavy!)
