Husavik Museum

About

The Husavik Museum celebrates the vibrant and progressive history of the Þingeyjar Counties. The permanent exhibition “Daily Life and Nature” examines a century in the history of people whose relationship with nature was immediate and intimate in the years 1850–1950. Natural objects and man-made artefacts are displayed along with contemporary personal accounts by local people. The museum's other permanent exhibition is at the Maritime Museum, which provides a vibrant insight into the evolution of fishing and boat building in the area from the time of the rowboat until the age of the motorboat. Additionally, there are two galleries that hold a diverse range of short-term art exhibitions. You can also find The Little Museum Shop in which various mementos of Iceland can be purchased. The Husavik Museum is open to visitors all year. 15 May–31 August: Every day 11–17. 1 September–14 May: Tue–Fri 13–16 & Sat 11–16.
