The exhibition includes about 2000 artifacts, dating from the Settlement Age to the present, as well as photographs from the 20th century.
You'll see the famous figure of Thor, dated from the year 1000, the first bible printed in Iceland in the 16th century, still considered one of the most beautiful prints in Icelandic and beautiful artifacts from mediaeval churches - among other fascinating artifacts.
