The Icelandic Sea Monster Museum and Coffee shop — Attraction in Westfjords

I really loved it. Yes, it is small, but I enjoyed its dark atmosphere and if you're actually interested in this subject, you won't be bored. There were two groups of people that went in and out while we were exploring! So I feel like if you're disappointed like some people in the reviews - that's on your approach and level of interest, because sure, if you just walk through, then you're done in minutes. The cafe that's in front was also quite pleasant and the people behind the counter were very nice.

If I would have to say sth negative, there's some funny typos and grammatical mistakes in the translations, so I would double check that and the most interactive part of it (the map/table) only showed stories in Icelandic (it didn't bother me, because I live here, but if someone didn't know the language, it would be nice to have not only the pictures but also the stories behind them. It might've been just a technical issue tho, because other than that everything was both in Icelandic...

Not a large museum, but they have an archive of 4,000 sea monster accounts, stored in various forms, which is really impressive. The experience is rich, with everything from life-sized models of the monsters to a really innovative use of touch screen technology to a 19th century maritime motif. The staff was super great, really nice and fun to talk to. It was fun to see the photos of the group effort putting the museum together, they really have something to be proud of. I was able to think of a reasonable & conclusive explanation for one or two of the stories, but I kept an open mind: Just because a creature is unknown to science now doesn't mean it might not be someday. 2 of the monsters do look a lot like big...

The entrance is 1.450isk and the owner told us that when he'll have a bit of free time, he'll come to explain us some stories!

We went inside the museum and I felt very immersive feelings. The texts, stories, the recreation of the monsters... Everything detail was made very good 👾!!

I must say that for me was very interesting because I like paranormal stuff, but my girlfriend didn't like it that much. I recommend to visit if you have the opportunity! The owner is very vibes although he didn't came for the stories (you deserve us the stories!!) 🥺

After the museum, we got a coffee (cappuccino, needs to be better done) and 2 pieces of apple pie (fantastic, delicious 😋🍏)

Really...
