Immerse yourself in the Icelandic sagas. The dim lighting, crackling noises and, ominous looking figures make you feel as if you stepped back in time.

The museum focuses on the Sagas, which are a collection of Icelandic stories dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. These stories are an important part of Icelandic cultural heritage and offer insights into the country's history and traditions. The lifelike figures and settings bring those stories to life.

What’s even more fun is that you can even try on traditional clothing, handle Viking weapons, and participate in other hands-on activities.

If you’re interested in Icelandic culture and history, make a stop here. It’s location in the Grandi area also offers up a great opportunity for you to visit other interesting places, like the Maritime Museum, FlyOver Iceland, restaurants, cafes, and bakeries.
