A little bit of history repeating
Árbæjarsafn
Why locals love it
It's not really a place where you will meet locals, but gives a general view of how people lived in the earlier times. It's positioned close to the beautiful Valley of Elliðár, so combining a field trip to the museum with a good outdoor walk in the valley is a must.
Why you should visit it
This lovely open air museum and a regional museum gives a nice insight into living conditions, work and recreational activities of the people of Reykjavík in earlier times.
Special tip
Those who do not remember the past are condemed to repeat it.
