Historic site
The National Museum of Iceland was established on 24 February 1863 and stands as the country's central institution for heritage conservation and research on cultural monuments. Located on Sudurgata street in Reykjavik, the museum's permanent exhibition traces Icelandic cultural history from the age of settlement through to the present day, covering Viking-age artefacts, medieval ecclesiastical objects, and everyday items from later centuries. The collection holds some of the most significant archaeological and historical objects ever found in Iceland.
