The museum's main attraction is the Íslendingur (Icelander), a full-scale replica of the Gokstad ship, a famous Viking ship that was built in Norway in the 9th century. The Íslendingur was sailed to New York in 2000 to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the arrival of Leif Erikson in North America.

In addition to the Íslendingur, the museum also has exhibits on the Viking way of life, including their ships, weapons, tools, and clothing. There is also a replica of a Viking longhouse, a traditional Viking dwelling.

The museum is open year-round and admission is 1500 Icelandic krona (about $15 USD). It is a popular tourist destination, especially for those who are interested in learning more about the Vikings.
