The Reykjavik Maritime Museum is in the Grandi area by the Old Harbour, in a former fish-freezing plant. It is also known as Vikin. The museum is part of the Reykjavik City Museum.
Iceland's fishing history
Its exhibitions cover Iceland's fishing history and how fishing shaped the country and the city, including the trawler era and the work of the coast guard.
The coast guard ship Odinn
The coast guard vessel Odinn is moored outside the museum, and guided tours of the ship are offered. Odinn took part in the Cod Wars, the disputes over fishing limits between Iceland and Britain. The museum is by the Old Harbour in the Grandi area.
Visiting the museum and Reykjavik tours
The Grandi area around the museum was built on reclaimed land beside the harbour. You can compare Reykjavik tours to see the current options.
