More information on Reykjavik Maritime Museum of Vikin (The)

The Reykjavik Maritime Museum of Vikin could not have been more ideally located than where it stands at present, in an old fish factory next to the harbor. The present exhibition highlights the trawlers of Iceland, and marks the arrival of Coot - Iceland's very first trawler. The place is an exciting and educative museum for both children and adults alike. Unlike other places, the Reykjavik Maritime Museum of Vikin is one place that really shows us the skills of teh Icelanders when it comes to venturing into the chilly waters.
