Description

The museum's permanent exhibition offers a unique insight into the history of the Icelandic nation from the Settlement to the present day, guided by the question: What makes a nation? It is conceived as a journey through time: it begins with the ship in which medieval settlers crossed the ocean to their new home, it ends in a modern airport, the Icelanders' gateway to the world. The exhibition includes about 2000 artifacts, dating from the Settlement Age to the present, as well as photographs from the 20th century. You'll see the famous figure of Thor, dated from the year 1000, the first bible printed in Iceland in the 16th century, still considered one of the most beautiful prints in Icelandic and beautiful artifacts from mediaeval churches - among other fascinating artifacts. Your ticket grant access to all exhibition at the Museum, including temporary exhibitions. Temporary exhibitions vary from time to time, but most reflect on Icelandic culture.
