What travellers are saying
- Placeholder ONorthampton, UK34 contributionsThis is a treasure trove of Icelandic history, the highlights really were all of the artefacts from the time the first vikings settled Iceland right through the Middle Ages. If you’re not into history you might not enjoy the bull of this museum but there are halls dedicated to art and contemporary Icelandic history as well as going further back in time. Really was a fascinating few hours and if you like you can even play a game of chess part way around!Written 29 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Richard WPenn Valley, CA862 contributionsThis is an open air museum which offers a glimpse of life in Iceland from years ago. Many of the buildings are authentic and have been moved to this location. Some are authentic to this location. The people of Iceland are descendants of the Vikings. They were used to hardships and using whatever was available to survive in this new land. Some of the very basic ways people lived were still in use into the mid-1900's.
I found this museum to be fascinating.Written 29 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Might not be interesting for young children as you follow with an audio guide.
Has a small gift shop and area to dress up as a Viking.Written 10 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA17,780 contributionsWe enjoyed a photo expo on the subject of 100 years ago, 1918, and the important events in town. Spanish flu and the end of WWI. Plus an explanation of the turf houses in town. Good space.Written 21 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dwyerdcwEtowah, NC58 contributionsAdalstraeti 10 was only a couple doors down from our hotel and connects to the larger Settlement Exhibition. One fee allows you to see both. Adalstraeti 10 takes you through the history of the structure with very interesting visual recreations and information about the buildings former occupants. We spend about 30-40 minutes and then moved on to the Settlement Exhibition.Written 28 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
