Reykir Folk Museum

The Reykir Folk Museum offers an account of the lives and works of locals during the latter half of the 19th century and the early 20th century.

Visitors can view two exhibitions within two halls. The first exhibition revolves around shark fishing in Húnaflói Bay, a noteworthy era in the region’s history. The larger hall houses an exhibition on the Icelandic rural community, as it existed around 1900.
