The Maritime Museum is located at the old harbour in Reykjavík and has various exhibitions displaying Icelandic maritime history, such as the development of the Icelandic fish industry from early settlement to the late 20th century.
An new underwater archaeology exhibition is the latest to be opened in the Museum, called Melckmeyt 1659 – Underwater Archaeological Survey. There is also a permanent exhibition entitled Fish &Folk – 150 years of fisheries.
