Iceland review - 2015, Qupperneq 57

Skógar Museum was founded in 1949
and preserves the cultural heritage of
South Iceland. The collection took
place at the turning point in the his-
tory of the Icelandic nation. The old
rural society was vanishing, a new
culture was taking root. In reconstruc-
tions of old turf farmhouses visitors
can see how the people of past times
were living. In 2002 a large exhibition
facility was built to house exhibits
from the technological age that be-
gan in Iceland in the beginning of the
20th century. This new museum, The
Museum of Transport and Communi-
cation has a spacious cafeteria and a
beautiful souvenir shop.
