Árbæjarsafn Open-Air Folk Museum

Árbæjarsafn Open-Air Folk Museum

Next we took a bus out to an Árbæjarsafn Open-Air Folk Museum. (yes I cut and pasted that name :) ) The local buses run frequently (even on Sunday), and the driver was very helpful in getting us to where we wanted to go. The folk museum was an interesting collection of old buildings detailing the history of Iceland, with some very honest admissions of a lot of mistakes that have been made. There is your usual collection of original-era houses, with volunteers knitting, baking bread, the usual. A few houses with grass roofs, some people cutting grass in a field with a scythe, and we were done. Don't mind my lack of enthusiasm - we were barely standing by this point - I think the King himself could have been in one of the buildings and we wouldn't have been that impressed! Note that most displays are now translated (loosely) into English, for those of us whose Icelandic is a little rough.
