Explore Iceland's captivating history through lifelike figures and engage with Viking costumes at this fun, well-curated museum.
"Continuing through the very centre of Reykjavik – the walk will likely be a slow one, with so many bright buildings to photograph and unique boutiques to dive into – our next stop is at the eastern end of the harbour. The Saga Museum provides an immersive take on Icelandic history. Recreating key moments in the country’s history through live performances and some incredible sets, the museum is a fun and quirky way to discover a little more about this island nation’s varied past." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team
"I went to the Saga Museum—I’m a very big kid, so the things I see are meant for younger people. It’s like a wax museum and it tells the sagas of Iceland—the stories and the histories of Iceland are called 'sagas.'"
