If you’re a history buff who loves finding out more about how a people or a country evolved over the years, or why things are the way they are now, then you will definitely love the National Museum of Iceland. First opened in 1863, there are over 2,000 artifacts and pictures on display here, as well as infographics relating to periods as early as the Viking settlement. There are also many hands-on sections where you can try on medieval jewellery or even use free smartphone audio guides to get a better feel of ancient times. There are various sections at the museum, with each documenting an aspect of Iceland’s evolution – whether it be culturally, geographically and politically. You can access the museum either by taking the public transport or walking from the city centre, making it a highly convenient landmark. If you ever find yourself in Iceland and can’t think of anything better to do, then why not pay this museum a visit and immerse yourself in the country’s rich history?
