National Museum of Iceland

The National Museum of Iceland is the best place to go to experience the whole history of Iceland! From the Viking age to the modern age, you will be able to see Iceland in a different way. As you walk in the museum you will be greeted with items from the Viking age, such as a Viking grave, swords, beauty products and normal everyday items. The most important item in the museum is a tiny little statue of Thor, the Thundergod in Norse Mythology. As you walk further into the museum you will see relics from famous Icelandic churches and items related to fishing. It is also a very interactive museum, especially for kids. There is a room where children can put on clothes, such as Viking or Priest clothes. You can also sit in a 1960's room, where they sometimes service waffles or pancakes and experience how life was in Iceland at that time. All in all, it is a great museum that you don't want to miss out on!
