A small but very informative display on how the very early settlers lived and worked.Well presented with interactive displays. It is situated at the oldest street in Reykjavik
This underground museum is simply wonderful. It shows an in situ Viking longhouse, coupled with modern technology. It is informative, well presented & scupulously clean.Well worth a visit.
We visited this exhibition and found it very different to anything we have previously experienced. Well worth a visit to see a historic ruin from around 1000AD that has been very carefully excavated and you are able to walk around and use the technology to see how the house would have been lived and worked within. Also free on the city pass if you have one, use it here.
Quite interesting, but a bit confusing - dark, hard to see, with explanatory labels, but not always obvious to us. Recommend going, but after you read a bit about the early settlement era.
Fascinating look into the life of the early settlers on Iceland &show their family /village life was. Excellently presented and ties in with other museums around Reykjavik to give a good over view of the development of this area over the years
Discover the history of Iceland and how the first settlers lived. Incredible use of technology really brings the exhibit to life.
Built over the archaeological remains of what they believe is the first settlement in Reykjavik, this display is well worth taking time to see.
We really enjoyed this museum. Great use of technology to make exhibit interactive. As in all of Iceland great,helpful staff. We learnt slot about the history of Iceland
A really nice multimedia presentation that's integrated with an actual archaeological dig of a 9th century Viking long-house.
This museum was very interesting and the long house is right there, so close you can touch it. The walls surrounding the house interactively take you through the history of the discovery but more importantly the history of the first settlers, what they found and how they survived. A little geeky but worth it if you like that kind of thing.
