Very organized and the staff are friendly in the museum. Watched a short documentary film about early Icelandic people immediated to new Iceland started Gimli and the Ukrainian joined and others. You can buy any of the museum gifts or memorial stuff with the same price or cheaper than the city shops. You will learn also about the Volcanos and the rocks. Deserved to visit.

My wife and are were travelling across Canada and decided to go a bit out of our way and check out Gimli. We had heard of the history and as such we made certain to go to the New Iceland museum. It was a very worthwhile side trip and I highly recommend it. As an avid history buff I learned stuff there that I had no clue about. Who knew there is a "New Iceland"? Not me.

What a great little museum. If you’re in Gimli, check it out. I started by visiting the statue and paths in the nearby Viking Park and then walked to the museum. The guy working there was super friendly and I had a good time learning about the history of the region. If you’re into history or simply want a better appreciation for Gimli and area, be sure to stop by.

Despite the the recently placed restrictions due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, I had a very nice experience coming here. Got to learn a lot about the history of New Iceland and the culture of the Icelandic people living in Manitoba. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.

This is a small, but excellent museum. You can start by watching a short film about Gimli and New Iceland. The museum has several displays about Iceland and the early days of the settlers in Gimli. It is well worth your time to stop for a visit, when you are in the area.
