At the photography exhibition Mirror of a Nation, moments from history are brought to light — moments captured on film and, at the same time, etched into the national memory by the news photographer Gunnar V. Andrésson over the course of his fifty-year career, from 1966 to 2018.

The exhibition is a selection from the Reykjavík Museum of Photography’s exhibition Companion. Several additional photographs from Akureyri, or images specifically connected to the history of this region, have been added.
