The Saga Museum intimately recreates key moments in Icelandic history, moments that have determined the fate of our people and which give a compelling view into how Icelanders have lived for more than a millennium. Visitors to the museum are guided through the museum´s many attractions as well as through a chronological history of the country with audio guidance in 5 different languages. In this vibrant, multidimensional museum, both Icelandic and foreign visitors are given an opportunity to learn about Icelandic history in a way that is both educational and fun. Life-like replicas of historical Icelandic figures have been created, based on descriptions found in the Viking sagas and chronicles. In order to achieve authenticity, clothing, weapons and everyday objects were constructed using traditional methods passed down through the ages. The weapons were specially crafted, and the wool and linen articles dyed by hand. The souvenir shop is unique and there you can find articles in direct connection with items on display. Drinks, dinner and after hour opening in connection with the restaurant Perlan. |
