About Reykjavík Maritime Museum
The Reykjavík Maritime Museum fills an old fish-processing house at Grandagarður 8. Its permanent exhibition, Fish & folk, follows 150 years of Icelandic fisheries, from rowing boats to trawlers. Moored at the museum pier are the coastguard vessel Óðinn, with daily guided tours from 1 March to 31 October, and the tug Magni, the first steel ship built in Iceland.
