In memory of Guðbergur Bergsson (1932-2023), several of his books and one manuscript have been displayed in the museum. Guðbergur's first book was the novel Músin sem lædist , published in 1961. Tómas Jónsson's bestseller , published five years later, attracted considerable attention and is often considered the first modernist novel in Icelandic. Guðbergur won the Icelandic Literature Prize for his novel Svaninn in 1991. The book has been published in many languages, including Czech in 1993, translated by Ivo Zelezný. Guðbergur has translated a number of outstanding works of literature from Spanish, including One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Márquez, which was published in 1978. He donated the manuscript of his translation of that book to the manuscript collection of the National and University Library of Iceland in 1981. It now bears the collection number Lbs 4618 8vo. This is only a fragment of the story, but it is also the only manuscript of Guðbergur's work preserved here in the museum.
