This building is itself an amazing piece of history. Make sure you visit the top floor! With a section on local fishing, accordion culture in Isafjordur, local plants, boat building tools and even an old dive suit this place is a little gem in a beautiful town of the Westfjords.

The birthplace of independence in Iceland nicely docent He explains the history back to 800 AD in English and Icelandic now I understand how Iceland went from Norwegian to Danish rule and then to self rule. How the people of the West Fjords survived, etc. Many fine exhibits are there too
