Step back in time and see what life was like in Iceland during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Árbær Open Air Museum is a collection of 20 historic buildings that have been relocated from various parts of Iceland to create a village-like setting and a farm.

You can explore the buildings, learn about traditional crafts and trades, and even participate in hands-on activities like weaving and knitting.

During the summer, the grass on the turf houses, repaired to look like its traditional form, are a vibrant green. In this season, you can also see ‘villagers’ dressed in period costume carry out daily chores like spinning wool, milking cows, and smoking meat.

The museum is an important cultural landmark in Iceland and is dedicated to preserving and promoting the country's cultural heritage. It offers valuable insights into Iceland's history and traditions and provides a unique glimpse into the country's past.

This is an amazing location to for all ages to learn, explore, and interact in a traditional Icelandic setting.
