Sagnheimar Folk Museum is a unique museum located in Vestmannaeyjar. It takes visitors on a journey to explore the island's history, culture and traditions, with interactive displays and exhibits dedicated to the events that have shaped the life on the island. Visitors can gain insight into fishing, cliff hunting, the Eldfell eruption of 1973, the Algerian pirate raid of 1627, the migration of Mormons to the U.S., and more. The museum features interesting multimedia such as old radios playing stories of life at sea and tales of heroism and rescues.
