Skógar Museum
Folk museum on the south coast at Skogar, collecting Icelandic turf houses, boats and rural artefacts.
Skogar Museum is a folk museum on the south coast, gathering turf-built houses, a fishing boat, farm implements and everyday objects from the surrounding district. It sits a short distance from Skogafoss, so it is easily combined with the waterfall stops on a south-coast drive.

Plan your visit
- Where it is
- At Skogar on Iceland's south coast, close to the Skogafoss waterfall and just off the ring road.
- Getting there
- Reached by car on the south-coast route, or as a stop on a guided south-coast tour.
- Typical visit
- Around one to one and a half hours across the turf buildings and the indoor collections.
- When to go
- The turf houses are walked between outdoors, so dry weather and longer daylight help. Opening arrangements are narrower in winter, so check before making a detour.
- Good to know
- It combines relocated turf buildings with indoor collections on transport and technology, so part of the visit is outdoors and part under cover.
