Saga Museum

Interesting museum about the first settlers and Vikings in Iceland. It was a bit more on the small side. The gift shop was also really nice.

This was actually better than I expected. I thought it would be a gory touristy wax museum. It was only partially this. The FIRST half to 2/3rds of the museum was interesting and informative. They explained and demonstrated the early settlement of Iceland with good commentary. Somewhere about the Middle Ages, the exhibits devolved into the gory "wax museum" stuff I had expected. Beheadings and people being burned alive, Christian atrocities, etc. I mean, I know those things happened, but they weren't the ONLY things happening in that time period! It was gratuitous violence. I am disabled. The museum floor is step free but somewhat uneven. You need to be aware of the undulations. The entrance price is half off for the disabled, but you have to ask. They don't seem to offer this perk without asking.

This museum features a walk through tour with audio. There are 15-20 scenes setup inside with tales from Iceland's history. My brother and I started our visit to Reykjavik here, which was nice because we got a lot of background information about various figures we would see throughout our trip. Of course, we also had to dress up like vikings and Templar knights!

Full of many interesting Viking facts and stories. A little shorter walk through than we were expecting, but neat and the gift shop had really cool items for purchase.

Creepily realistic waxwork figures that help tell the history of Iceland as you walk around the displays listening to an radio guide. Guide takes about 30 ish minutes then afterwards you can watch a film in the main area and dress up as vikings! The whole experience is gun, interesting and doesn't go on for too long. Worth it if you have a couple of hours spare.

Saga Museum is an incredible experience! The sculptures are amazingly detailed, and the audio guide offers multiple language options, making the storytelling truly immersive. At the end, you get to watch how the sculptures are made and even dress up in Viking costumes for some fun photos. A must-visit for anyone interested in Viking history!

This had a lot of information on the Vikings and the era. The displays were amazing and so life like. The audio tapes had a lot more detail in them than the display boards. There's a room where you can dress up like a viking and take photos. There's a cool giftshop if you want to buy some gifts, and a cafe if you're hungry.

Not a huge museum at all but the wax figures were incredible. They also had a head phone that you could follow along with the history portion. It's definitely worth checking out
