The life and collecting of Thorbjorg Sigurdardottir Bergmann <\/h4>\n

The exhibition is about the life and collecting work of \u00deorbj\u00f6rg Sigur\u00f0ard\u00f3ttir Bergmann, who was born in P\u00e1lsb\u00e6r on Seltjarnarnes on 13 April 1876. After completing her studies at the Girls' School in 1898, \u00deorbj\u00f6rg took a job in B\u00edldudal where she met her future husband, Sigf\u00fas Bergmann, and they were married in the turn of the century, 1900. That same year, they moved to Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and soon became prominent in the town's life. <\/p>\n

Thorbjorg's belongings formed the basis of the \u00c1rb\u00e6jarsafn. <\/h4>\n

Thorbjorg started collecting folk objects early on, and her main aim seems to have been to save them from being lost. She recognised the changes taking place in Icelandic society and the necessity of preserving the various items that could be said to have been typical of the old Icelandic peasant society. Thorbjorg Bergmann's collection contained around 400 items, which were transferred to the Reykjav\u00edk Society in 1952 and later donated to the \u00c1rb\u00e6r Museum in 1958, forming the basis of the museum's collection. The exhibition in the Packhouse features items from \u00deorbj\u00f6rg's collection, which were loaned from the City History Museum, \u00c1rb\u00e6r Museum, and from \u00deorbj\u00f6rg's descendants.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
