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 develop-
ment of travel and communication, road building and mech-
anisation at the beginning of the 20 th century. Visit also the
Skógar Boutique and Skógar Café in the new museum. 861 HVOLSVÖLLUR - OPEN DAILY FROM 9:00 TO 18:00
