1238: The Battle of Iceland – Admission Tickets

Step into one of the most dramatic chapters in Icelandic history at 1238: The Battle of Iceland, a cutting-edge interactive exhibition in Sauðárkrókur. This immersive experience brings the violent and politically charged civil war of the 13th century to life through virtual reality, augmented reality, and hands-on storytelling.

Unlike a traditional museum, 1238: The Battle of Iceland uses modern technology to engage all ages in the epic saga of Sturlungaöld – a time when powerful clans fought for control over Iceland. At the heart of the experience is a VR battle simulator where you can walk in the footsteps of medieval warriors and witness the Battle of Örlygsstaðir, the largest armed conflict ever fought on Icelandic soil.

Whether you’re a history buff, traveling with kids, or simply curious about Iceland’s Viking heritage, this exhibition offers an unforgettable and educational adventure.
