Book NowStory & Folklore
Landnámssýningin opened in 2006, built around the excavated remains of a Viking-age longhouse discovered under what is now the Tjarnargata area. The exhibition surrounds the ancient ruins with clever multimedia storytelling — projected animations recreate the longhouse interior as it would have looked in 900 AD. You learn about the first settler Ingólfur Arnarson and the Norse families who sailed from Norway to this empty, volcanic island. It is one of the most memorable 'archaeology as theatre' experiences in Scandinavia.
