The street art of Reykjavík

Every city has its street art which often reflects a city's character just as much as its buildings, landmarks and people. The City of Reykjavík continues to wage a battle against graffiti but meanwhile, building contractors and individuals are happy to allow artists to portray their genius on buildings. Here is a photo gallery of some of the most prominent works of street art in the northernmost capital.
