THE FOLK MUSEUM AT SKÓGAR preserves the cultural heritage
of the Rangárvallasýsla and Vestur-Skaftafellssýsla region,
in the form of tools and equipment used at land and at sea,
crafts, old buildings, books, manuscripts and documents.
Reconstruction of old turf farmhouses has been one of the
principal features of the museum’s work. The pride of the
museum is the Skógar Church, built in the style which
predominated in Iceland from the Middle Ages until
the 19th century.
Iceland was swept into modernity in an amazingly short time.
A new museum, built in 2002, exhibits the development of
travel and communication, road building and mechanisation
at the beginning of the 20 th century. Visit also the
Skógar Boutique and Skógar Café in the new museum.
