Experience life-size models of 23 different species of whales at Whales of Iceland, the largest whale museum in Europe! This unique museum is full of underwater sounds, interactive exhibits, and educational information for all ages - a must-do for any nature lover while in Reykjavík!
Whales of Iceland contains more than 25 life-sized whale models, representing every species of whale found in Icelandic waters throughout recorded history.

In addition, interactive exhibits allow visitors to dive into the anatomy and behavior of these gentle giants, and award-winning documentaries are shown throughout the day in the Fin Whale Theatre, included in the cost of admission. The films variously discuss whale conservation, research, and other fascinating subjects. And there is plenty of free parking right outside the museum!
