We were very fortunate, during the research visit to Iceland in 2010, to be given access to this Open Air Museum, despite it being the closed season. This was largely due to our guide Stephan Valsson, being such a well-known character, and having such excellent powers of persuasion.
The concept of the Museum will be familiar to anyone who has visited the Beamish Open Air Museum of the North of England, for example.

To access other internet descriptions of the Museum please click here to see the Web page related to Reykjavik Museums.
The following photographs were taken during our visit - readers can imagine our reaction when one of the display items turned out to be a Model 1907 Bayonet issued to the 10th Durham Light Infantry!
