Árbær Open Air Museum

Árbær was a working farm long into the twentieth century, and the museum first opened its doors in 1957. Árbær is now a museum available to the public, with more than 20 structures forming a town square, a village, and a farm. The majority of the structures have been transferred from Reykjavik's downtown area.

Árbær Open Air Museum strives to capture the architecture, way of life, and lifestyles of the past in Reykjavik, and visitors can witness domestic animals throughout the summer. The Museum hosts a number of exhibitions and events that focus on specific times in Reykjavik's history. Craft days, vintage vehicle shows, Christmas exhibits, and other events are among them. The Árbær Open Air Museum has something for everyone.

By visiting the Árbær Open Air Museum, you will gain a thorough grasp of the capital city's folklore. The Reykjavik Society was founded in response to concerns about Reykjavik's regional history. As a result, this museum was established to address these issues and to investigate strategies for re-establishing the town's past. This included the restoration of agricultural buildings, which is why the museum is open to the public. The professor's house, an exhibit with ancient trains, a typical stable, a blacksmith's house, and an old slaughterhouse are all available for viewing. In one of the museum's most recent exhibits, you may also learn about archaeological discoveries.
