WARNING!!! DO NOT WALK IN ANY OF BUILDING IN THE AREA if you just hanging in around. No sign No Office people Shame on this museum people!!! We were buying magnets in the museum , the reception told we have to pay 2500/ per person for the entering the black house. We explained we didn’t know we have to pay the tickets for 1 min around , no machine or counter. I don’t think this is fair! If there was a sign about paying, no one will walked in free, doesn’t make sense, how come we walked around without people stopping us, clearly the staff were playing phones and chatting away. People should pay decent money with decent people. I strongly suggest the Council should check cctv and tell us who were lying about it. I don’t mind coming the Iceland for justice, if they ask. By the way , 7500 isk for one minute walked around, please think twice before u walk into the historical place where is no staff to greeting you. I also feel bad for Nonnis who deserve better staff to work for them.

A small museum in Akureyri but for its relatively small size, this museum is able to successfully inform and educate, in my view. The museum itself was laid out in a logical, easy to follow manner, showcasing what life in Akureyri was like in the past. Exhibits have concise, bilingual explainers both in Icelandic and also English. There’s complimentary coffee too, near the entrance. Worth a short visit if you’re ever in the Gamla Akureyri area!

Have some mixed feelings about this museum: the themes appeared haphazard to me. There was a large collection of all kinds of musical instruments, Icelandic bands and singers. Also a room with objects of bygone times. Funny, sure, but similar collections could be made for just any Western country.

Very well done and interesting museum with thousands of items from daily use spanning the entire history of the town. As I walked around, I felt like I entered the past! Don't miss the turf house in the back! You can also visit the nearby Nonni house and a small church from the 1840s.
