Settlement & Egils Saga Exhibition – Admission Ticket

Step back in time and discover the fascinating story of Iceland’s first settlers and one of its greatest Viking heroes with a visit to the Settlement & Egils Saga Exhibition in Borgarnes. This engaging museum experience offers two captivating exhibitions under one roof, perfect for history lovers and curious travelers alike.

In the Settlement Exhibition, you’ll explore how Iceland was discovered and settled in the 9th and 10th centuries. Using multimedia, storytelling, and lifelike figures, the exhibit explains how the Norse settlers braved the North Atlantic and established a new society in this remote and rugged land.

The Egils Saga Exhibition brings to life the thrilling saga of Egill Skallagrímsson, a Viking warrior, poet, and outlaw whose story is one of the most famous in Icelandic literature. Through atmospheric displays and narration, you’ll gain insights into Viking-age honor, politics, and family drama.

Both exhibitions include an audio guide available in multiple languages, ensuring an informative and immersive experience for international visitors.

This is a self-guided experience, so you can take your time and move through the exhibitions at your own pace. The exhibitions are located in the heart of Borgarnes, just an hour’s drive from Reykjavík, making it a perfect stop on your way around the Ring Road or as a day trip from the capital.
