I C E L A N D 0. INTRODUCTION The Republic of Iceland occupies an area of 103,000 km2 in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean. The population is 270,292 (mid-1996), settled mostly in urban areas (91 per cent), but more than a half of the country is still uninhabited. 96 per cent of the population belong to the Evangelican Lutheran church. The population derives for the most part from Irish migrants and Scandinavian immigrants and for this reason Icelandic culture has strong traditional Scandinavian and Celtic elements. The native tongue of the population is Icelandic, a Germanic language, but commercial correspondence is conducted in English. Two distinctive features of Icelandic culture are an emphasis on old Icelandic literature (Edda) and linguistic purism. 1. GENERAL DIRECTIONS OF CULTURAL POLICY There is no specific legislation regulating cultural policy and the administration of cultural affairs. This subject is dealt with partly by laws and regulations governing the work of the Ministerial Departments and partly by various other laws impacting on different cultural sectors. The main emphasis has been on the preservation of the Icelandic language and cultural heritage, freedom of expression through the arts, decentralized cultural initiatives, cultural democracy and pluralism, and active participation in Nordic and other international cultural cooperation.

Call 1-800-iExplore Culture It takes special people to not just endure but embrace the dark winters, spewing volcanoes, and the isolation that are facts of life in Iceland. Indeed, resilient Icelanders have an utterly sunny outlook, with one of the longest life expectancies and highest standards of living in the world. Ever since the Vikings, Iceland's first inhabitants, set foot on this enchanting island in the 9th century, the people of Iceland have been hard at work successfully making this rugged country a hospitable and overwhelmingly desirable place to live. Iceland floats in the North Atlantic with sparsely populated Greenland as its closest neighbor, 180 miles away. Because of this geographical isolation, the Icelandic way of life borrows much from its major cultural influence, the Vikings. This fairly homogenous gene pool has produced a country full of tall, blonde, blue-eyed peoplean obvious likeness to the sword-wielding Nordic warriors who settled the country.

CULTURE Visitors to Iceland are always surprised by the tremendous vitality of its cultural life. Lovers of the arts and culture are in for a real treat in Reykjavik. Strong Icelandic tradition and international culture thrive side by side to weave a rich tapestry of delights and experiences. On the cultural front there is the choice of symphony orchestra, opera, theaters (there's no language barrier for the frequent musicals), and a colorful variety of other musical events. Alongside home artists, growing numbers of celebrated international performers from all genres are eager to include "cool but hot" Iceland in their tour programs these days. And for a little daytime cultural input, a fine national and international mix is also found at the many visual art museums and galleries. Visual Art Theater Symphony Opera Visual Art Reykjavik and the surrounding area are home to a vast number of art galleries of every size, shape and description. Some are architectural delights, some intimate and cozy; some of them even double as cafes or movie-theater lobbies. And none of them ever stands empty. In fact the output of fine arts and crafts in Iceland far surpasses what the existing galleries and showrooms can handle. Reykjavik Art Museum comprises the Asmundur Sveinsson Sculpture Museum, the Kjarval Collection, the Erro Collection, the Architectural Museum and the Reykjavik Art Collection. The Museum is located in three different places in Reykjavik, each with its own characteristics.

Independent for over 300 years, Iceland was subsequently ruled by Norway and Denmark. Fallout from the Askja volcano of 1875 devastated the Icelandic economy and caused widespread famine. Over the next quarter century, 20% of the island's population emigrated, mostly to Canada and the United States Limited home rule from Denmark was granted in 1874 and complete independence attained in 1944. Literacy, longevity, income, and social cohesion are first-rate by world standards.
