The Listasavnið á Sandoyggj is a small art museum dedicated to Faroese visual art, housed in the village of Sandur. The collection focuses on works by Faroese artists and provides one of the better introductions to the modern art tradition that has developed in these islands over the past century — a tradition remarkable for its quality given the scale of the population.
The museum hosts rotating exhibitions alongside its permanent collection, and the building itself is typical of the understated, well-maintained quality of Faroese public architecture. Opening hours are limited and vary by season; check locally or with the tourist information in Tórshavn before making a special journey. The combination of the art museum and the Í Koytu house museum makes Sandur a more culturally rich stop than its size would suggest.
