For the price this museum which looks into viking history in Iceland does not offer much and was over before I knew it! An audio guide is included which tends to pad out the experience. The individual exhibits are pretty good but there really is not a lot of them. You will not be missing out on much if you don't visit and Reykjavik has much better museums.

Located at the far end of the port area near bus stop 15. Doesn't look much from outside but surprisingly good inside. Admission was 3000 kr each (seniors), headphones included. Excellent waxworks and replicas of early Icelandic history tell the story of the people based on the collected Sagas dating from the 12th to 15th centuries. Useful background information for a visit to Iceland, as it talks about the first settlers, the rise of clans and the church, the Reformation, colonial power etc. A highlight is the chance to dress up in Viking clothes at the end! I won’t remember all the characters’ names, but I enjoyed listening to them!

We had under an hour before time to go to city walk tour. Saga Museum was across street from our hotel so we chose that. The tour takes 35 minutes. They have realistic looking wax figure exhibits and much history of Iceland from 870 ad to 1500s.
