Heartwarming and inspiring
Probably the best museum we visited in Iceland and one of the best museums we have ever seen. The smell exhibition showed that no matter where you live or grew up, there are simply small things that are common to us all :) So much love and history in a small building. I loved it!

Refreshing and Joyful Experience
This charming gem of a museum offers visitors a chance "to meet" those who have called Iceland home for many generations, a few years, or less through video, photographs, and text. Visitors are invited to see everyday items anew and experience the pleasure of fine visual and oral storytelling. Highly recommended.
