What to See at the Reykjavik Maritime Museum

There are permanent and temporary exhibitions at the Reykjavik Maritime Museum. The museum also runs events.

The permanent exhibition is “Fish and Folk — 150 Years of Fisheries.” It tells the story of Icelandic fisheries and how fishing practices changed with the development of bigger and better boats. 

The exhibition uses objects, pictures, games, and texts to tell the story of fishing in Iceland. With such a harsh climate, the country’s early settlers needed to find ways to survive. Fishing and sheep farming became a way of life that gave Icelanders food and ways to keep warm.

Visitors to the Reykjavik Maritime Museum can also visit a former coastguard ship, Odin, as part of a guided tour. There are three one-hour tours each day, which have an additional cost. 

Where Is the Reykjavik Maritime Museum?

The Reykjavik Maritime Museum, formerly known as the Vikin Maritime Museum, is housed in a former fish-freezing plant at the city harbor. Its address is Grandagardur 8. It’s across the harbor from the Harpa Concert Hall, one of the city’s most interesting architectural buildings.

The museum is also just a short walk away from the Whales of Iceland exhibit, the largest exhibition on whales in the world. Here, you can learn everything there is to know about the whales, dolphins, and porpoises that live in Icelandic waters.
