The Museum of Things!



The museum is a delightfully unconventional museum, neither a historical museum nor an art museum but a mixture of both. The collection is not made from specific objects, but rather an eclectic array of everyday items, tools, elements from historical buildings … If it existed in the first place you will likely find it here. Unlike traditional exhibitions, its aim isn’t to convey a particular message or theme.
The collection is the labour of love of one man, Sverrir Hermannsson, a master carpenter who meticulously gathered and artistically showcased each item.
Next to the Museum of Things is an historical turf church, Saurbæjarkirkja, and an iconic sculpture of the cow Edda.
The museum is located in Eyjafjarðarsveit 55 km south from Akureyri.
Coffee and tee included in your ticket.
