Visual artist Sigurður Árni Sigurðsson came to the museum with a gift and presented a book he created together with the South Korean poet Ko Un. The book is called Fascination and is published by Gervais Jessaud in Paris in 12 copies. Sigurður Árni's artwork is made with watercolors and each copy is handmade. The book is numbered and signed by the artists and the publisher. The museum is now striving to preserve books in a special book department within special collections. Jökull Sævarsson, curator of special collections, received the book.
