Viking World

Viking World is a fascinating museum dedicated to Viking history and culture, whose centerpiece is a full-scale replica of the Íslendingur, a 23-meter ship built using authentic Viking methods.

In 2000, this impressive ship sailed across the Atlantic, recreating Leif Eriksson's legendary voyage to Newfoundland. Interactive exhibits transport visitors to the world of Norse mythology and everyday Viking life, while an exhibition by the Smithsonian Institution reveals the secrets of the conquest of the North Atlantic.
