The Saga Museum has moved its location to a beautiful historical house at the old harbor in the center of Reykjavik. The museum is larger, there is a beautiful café and a light inviting souvenir shop.
We from Snorrastofa and The Saga trail organization were all invited to the grand opening at 4pm 04.04.2014 ! This will surely be a lucky number for the Saga Museum, and I will encourage every visitor in Reykjavik to visit them.
I had a very merry time at the opening with friends and colleagues, in the picture myself from Reykholt the west, and my good friend Ásborg from Reykholt the east!
My name is Sigrun Guttormsdóttir Þormar. I live inBorgarfjord west Iceland, where I work as a project leader at the cultural medieval center Snorrastofa in Reykholt. For those that don't know, Reykholt was the home of Snorri Sturluson, medieval writer and poet whom lived in Reykholt from 1206 to 1241. He was the author of the Edda, Heimskringla (History of the kings of Norway) and Egils Saga Skallagrimsson. For me Snorri is the most amazing employer whom I proudly serve and constantly present in my every day life! He is absolutely still going strong at 835 years of age. Please come and visit us at www.snorrastofa.is. We are open all weekdays during the winter and all days during summer. We have an exhibition about Snorri Sturluson and offer lectures for groups. Hope to see you soon :)
