At Musée de Skógar, there’s so much to learn about Iceland’s past.
Musée de Skógar or Skogasafn Museum, which is also simply known as Skogar Museum, is a cultural and historical treasure trove in the south of Iceland. It first opened its doors on December 1st in 1949, thanks to its founder Þórður Tómasson, who dedicated his entire life to its development until he retired at the ripe old age of 92 in 2013. Skogar Museum is actually a conglomeration of three museums and six historical buildings with up to 15,000 local folk artifacts that date back to as early as the Viking period. Each building depicts an aspect of Icelandic life: the first building houses agricultural and fishery tools while the second and third is an open-air museum and a transport museum respectively, all displaying various facets of Iceland. Skogar Museum is open every day, so do drop by if you have time during your trip.
