Húsið (The House) at Eyrarbakki is one of the oldest buildings in Iceland, built in 1765 by Danish merchants. In 1932-1934, the House was thoroughly renovated, and again during the period 1979-1995, when it was restored to its original form. The house was commonly referred to as "The House", probably because it was the only wooden residencial house in Eyrarbakki at that time. The museum is opened daily from 15th May - 15th Sept from 11:00-18:00 and upon request in winter time.

In 1973, there was a volcanic eruption in the Westman Islands that destroyed several houses and covered almost 400 homes and buildings. Today, many of these houses are being excavated. The excavation project is called "Pompeii of the North" and the plan is to excavate 7-10 houses. The site is open daily to visitors.

The Saga Centre offers a guided tour of the Njala exhibition (Njál's Saga), introducing guests to the often rugged characters of Iceland's ancient sagas. The museum offers insight into the world of mythology, ocean voyages, and the discovery of new lands. At the Saga Centre there is also a Viking exhibition, an art gallery called ‘The Worm', a souvenir shop and a bookstore. The museum is open all year round.
Upon request, groups can dine in the Saga Hall, which is a replica of a medieval longhouse.

Skógar Folk Museum opened in 1949 on the initiative and enthusiasm of Þórður Tómasson, who started the collection of the artifacts and houses of the open-air museum. Today, Þórður is still at it, collecting items or playing the organ in the little church at the museum, to the pleasure of the visitors. There are thirteen houses on the museum grounds, each dedicated to Icelandic folklore and life. The museum is open all year round.

This farmhouse is a reconstructed Viking-era Longhouse, a replica of the medieval farm Stöng, located in the valley of Þjorsardalur. The original farm Stöng, along with 20 other farms in the valley was destroyed in the Mt. Hekla eruption of 1104. In 1939, archaeologists excavated the sites of Stöng and found them very well preserved under layers of ashes. The replica of the farmhouse is the same size and identical to the excavations of the original farm. The farm is open daily from 1st June-31st August from 10-18:00.
