Get ready to delve deep into the fascinating ancient history of Iceland!
The Saga Museum depicts some of Iceland’s most historic moments and stories using life-like replicas of both people and objects. They strive to be as accurate as possible with their recreations – the replicas of people were based on descriptions found in ancient Viking tales, and the clothing, weapons, and other everyday objects were built using traditional methods that have existed in Iceland for years. It all makes for an extremely authentic experience with a handmade touch – for example, all the wool and linen pieces were dyed by hand, and all the wooden implements and weapons were specially carved and treated to look accurate to the time period.
