The Húsavík Whale Museum is a non-profit organization established in 1997. The Húsavík Whale Museum is situated in Húsavík, a small town in north east Iceland, on the shores of Skjálfandi Bay, just below the Arctic Circle at 66° N. The museum’s purpose is to educate the public about whales, with emphasis on the species occurring in the North Atlantic. The exhibition provides informative and attractive displays that have the capacity to raise awareness about cetaceans and their environment. The scientific component includes an introduction to the museum’s research, which has been expanding since 2001 and now includes international collaborations and publications. The museum was acknowledged as an educational facility by the Icelandic Ministry of Education in 2007.

If you do whale watching tour, which I highly recommend, then you will get 10-20% discount for this museum and some restaurants. This is worth it. They have free filter coffee inside.
3. The Culture House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
The farm of Grenjadarstadur dates back to Iceland's settlement over a thousand years ago. For a long time it was one of the area's chief farms and became the site of a church, parsonage and post office. With a floor area of about 775 m2, the picturesque turf house that currently exists was one of Iceland's lagest. Its oldest part is from 1865, and people continued to live in it until 1949. The house was opened in 1958 as a local heritage museum, displaying over a thousand donated items. To wander through and imagine how life once was will provide a unique experience for any age group. This summer there will be an exhibition about the post office that used to be operated there, while the service building will show how the turf buildings gradually evolved. As well as free coffee and tea, facilities are provided for eating your own food.

Since it was donation based entry my wife and I went, and the exhibition upstairs about polar expeditions was actually surprisingly both informative and well presented. The other elements were a bit more work in progress, but a really positive idea and well worth supporting!
5. GeoSea

The GeoSea sea baths enable you to enjoy nature in a unique manner. Thanks to the underground heat, the seawater in the baths is warm and comfortable and the mineral-rich water will caress your skin. While the warm sea works its miracles, you can enjoy the view of the mountain range to the west, Skjalfandi Bay beneath the cliffs and the Arctic Circle itself on the horizon.

The sea baths were so nice and relaxing, I really liked the view. The changing rooms were nice and clean. Personally I really liked that you could have drinks by your side while looking at the beautiful ocean. It was very expensive but worth it
