Listasavn Føroya
The National Gallery, set in a city park. Its collection includes works by Faroese masters such as Samuel Joensen-Mikines.
The gallery sits beside Viðarlundin, the largest green space in Tórshavn. Its collection covers paintings and sculptures by Faroese artists from the 20th century onward. It is especially known for the works of Samuel Joensen-Mikines, who painted the scenery of Mykines Island, capturing the island's light, shadows, and storms. The building is simple and bright, and the café inside makes it a good choice on a rainy day. Tickets are charged per person, and the gallery may be closed on Mondays.
