## Caption

One week from today, the National Nordic Museum is pleased to present an immersive artwork created by Jónsi (@iamjonsi), lead singer of the world-famous Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós (@sigurros). Created specifically for the Museum, the artwork will be the focus of Jónsi’s first museum exhibition in the United States. 

This experiential exhibition highlights the natural connections between the coastal cities of Seattle and Reykjavik, which became sister cities in 1986. Changing environmental conditions within the gallery will engage the visitors’ senses of hearing, sight, and smell to transport them to the ocean: 

“It is a spatial scent and sound sculpture, my main inspiration being the ocean. First I was thinking about how Reykjavík and Seattle connect as sister cities, both being these coastal fishing cities...and the ocean being this ominous and mysterious force playing a central part in our lives. It’s basically about 'the big wave,' a wave that takes us all and destroys everything in its path. The effects of climate change, such as sea level rise, flooding, and intensified natural disasters, are happening all around us, and this piece is a reflection of that dire reality.” 

🇮🇸 While 3/17’s opening event is sold out, tickets for 3/18 and beyond may now be reserved—visit the first link in our bio for more!
