Loved our visit. The displays were so life like (so much better than at wax museum)

"In Reykjavik? Saga's Museum is a must."

If you are in Reykjavik don't miss the Saga Museum. It's on the waterfront and walking distance to many other sites.

We visited the National Museum, The Perlan, Thingvellir National Park and of course many other natural sites. But the Saga Museum was a true jewel on the visit, from the story of Raven Floki to more modern times. The carefully crafted scenes were incredible and the audio guide expanded upon the reading at each location. Once through and you can dress like a viking, and then check out the best gift shop in Iceland (no joke you will not find a better replica of Thor/Jesus statue anywhere else.) If you in town don't miss the Saga Museum.

"I very much enjoyed the museum"

I very much enjoyed the museum. I brought my eight year-old grandson and 10-year-old granddaughter along with me. My grandson absolutely loved all the displays, and my granddaughter covered her eyes because some of them are quite frankly gory. The highlight for both of them was the Viking dress up stuff available at the end. I swear they spend an hour in there putting on different costumes and knight in each other. That was worth the price of admission. As an adult, I found it educational and interesting

"Very helpful "

I had a wonderful visit to this museum and purchased some tiny village houses amongst other items in their shop. I thought I’d be able to get them in other gift shops in Iceland but never saw them again.
When I returned home to England I contacted the museum by email and the lovely manager responded sending me pictures of all the new houses they had in stock so that I could choose more. They were then shipped over to me and I now have the most amazing little village.
I can’t thank them enough, so very helpful.

"Worthwhile exploration into Viking times"

I was very glad we took time to go through this museum. The exhibits were very well done; probably the best wax impressions I’ve seen. Chronological scenes depicting real Viking life, beliefs, history and important historical characters were displayed. It was very thorough and did not sugarcoat how hard life could be. The staff were personable and courteous. If you have the time, about 1 hour, I highly recommend that you take a walk-through.

"Fantastic memento "

I was very pleased to receive my Saga Museum programme promptly after the first one was sent back to you due to insufficient address. After contacting you and sorting out my address everything went smoothly.
I regretted not buying this item when I visited your wonderful museum in February and was delighted to find out I could order online.

"The saga is a very interesting museum"

The saga is a very interesting museum, telling through dolls that look real landmarks in Icelandic history, and at the end there is a cool souvenir shop. we loved

"A really nice museum with plenty of…"

A really nice museum with plenty of information about the Viking settlers in Iceland. It also helps to have an audio guide as you go around.
Also lots of viking costumes to try on.
It is hard to believe that they could fight, with the weight of the chainmail, helmets, shields and swords.
