The Settlement Exhibition

Step into the Viking Age

 

Just below ground in the main street in the centre of Reykjavík called Aðalstræti, an open excavation uncovers the city’s Viking Age history. A new addition to the exhibition was opened in May 2022. This new display is a direct continuation of The Settlement Exhibition, representing Reykjavík’s history from settlement to the present day.

The exhibition is part of Reykjavík City Museum –one museum in five unique places.
