About Folk & Maritime Museum in Garður

The Folk and Maritime Museum at Garðskagi tells the story of fishing and community life in Garður and includes a large working engine collection.

An excellent indoor companion to the Garðskagi lighthouses, with strong local maritime history and an unusual working engine collection.

The Folk and Maritime Museum in Garður opened in 1995 in former processing buildings at Garðskagi. Its collections document the fishing economy and everyday life of the local community, alongside an unusual engine collection assembled by Guðni Ingimundarson. Visit Reykjanes notes more than 60 engines on display, many of them operational. The museum sits close to the Garðskagi lighthouses and coast, making it easy to combine with birdwatching and lighthouse visits.
