Fuglahúsið - The Bird House

The sculpture Fuglahúsið (e. The Bird House) by the artist Sigurð Guðmundsson is located at the grass field by Fjölbrautskóla Suðurnesja (secondary school). The sculpture was created for a competition held by the school and was unveiled in 1994. It is made of bronze and consists of a birdhouse attached to a head-shaped structure, with a pencil running through the centre. Visitors are welcome to walk up three steps to take a closer look inside the birdhouse, where they can see featherless chicks. The chicks represent the students at the school and their journey through education, while the pencil symbolises their future.
