In an old, very old merchant's warehouse, this museum has a little bit of all the sorts of things used at sea to fish and travel. The museum has the history of the town and area. We were greeted at the door by the museum's director who served us Aqua Vit (very strong alcohol) and very old shark -- it was 8 am!
This museum is one of the few wooden buildings of any age in this part of Iceland as wood is very rare and doesn't last long. I loved to see how the building was built. I also enjoyed looking at the fishing boats, all of wood and as beautiful as any work of art, that sat outside the museum building. Actually, I loved everything after the Aqua Vit!
