The National Museum of Iceland (Þjóðminjasafn Íslands) celebrates the history and culture of the Icelandic people with a variety of permanent and temporary exhibitions, photographic collections, and interactive displays. The museum’s main permanent exhibition, ‘Making of a Nation - Heritage and History in Iceland’ features over 2,000 objects and more than 1,000 photographs dating from the Settlement Age to the present, with one of the main objects being the Valþjófsstaður door, a celebrated Viking carving depicting a version of the Lion-Knight legend. The museum boasts a Museum Café, a shop, and a collection of historic buildings that form part of the museum’s collection. If you are wondering what to do in Reykjavik, Iceland on a rainy day, this is a great place to visit (The National Museum of Iceland, Phone: +354 530 2200).
