It is far away from anywhere you may be in Iceland but really worth the trip, if not for the museum itself, but for the outstanding road! Interesting museum where you'll learn a more about codfish, whales and iceland history! You can taste shark there!

Niece and the people is calm and very strong characters. At least those of them how are born and have grove up there. The mountains is so high and near and I think many of visitors feel like them take care of - other feel them is insulate. But like every place in Vestford Ísafjorður is beautiful and different. There is many very good fish restaurants

This was well worth the money to go in - they do take Euros and credit cards. You begin with a short film showing the hard life of early fishermen - all in English. All the signs and information are in English and they have a good display of original artefacts. 3 floors of displays and at the tip you can climb further and look out of the cupola. There is a nearby cafe/restaurant which we didnt try - but reviews show that it is very good. No disabled access for higher floors.

It's a small museum, but interesting to read the exhibits. I'd never have guessed the accordion display existed though.

Great and helpful staff - the main museum is interesting and the video recreating life on the fishing rowboats is well done. On the second floor there is a staggering collection of accordions including one or two really rare items

This museum holds more than it first appears, as it has 3 floors of displays. These include displays on fishing, plants and animals, accordions, and more in a wonderfully restored building. While it is laid out fairly well, it could have used more descriptions in some of the spots. But all the same, it was interesting and worth seeing, especially because the admission here also gets you into the old Blacksmith shop in nearby Pingeyri. There you can see all the old tools still being used and tour throughout the building, which was well worth seeing.

Fishing, music, plants, animals, how people lived... All presented in one of the oldest building in Iceland. Must see.

This museum, housed in some of Ísafjörður's oldest buildings, covers the history of fishing, from men setting out tn 6-oared open boats to today's freezer-trawlers. They run a film called "Give Us This Day", which presents a stark view of the life of fishermen in the early 1900s. The film is well worth the price of admission.

It was a rainy day when we visited but the local teens performed their traditional dances which lifted our spirits. Video gives the history of fishing way back when. Very well displayed exhibits.

Gosh, what a lovely day we had for a visit to this lovely town and its Maritime Museum. We were treated to some traditional Icelandic music and dancing performed outside by apparently the only teenage professional theatre company in Iceland! Making our way past various bits of fishing equipment, we went into the Museum which is housed in the oldest cluster of houses in Iceland to see items mainly to do with the fishing industry. Upstairs is an unexpected collection of accordions and, much to my amazement, a small section of deep sea diving stuff. I worked for the manufacturer of all the items (Siebe Gorman) about forty years ago so I got all those "what a small world" feelings even though the model wearing all the deep sea diving kit looked very disconsolate and alarmingly "slumped"!An interesting place situated very near the harbour and town and well worth a visit.

A most interesting museum of Iceland's fishing industry housed in an 1875 building.Took me back to my childhood in seeing and smelling the drying cod at the entrance. The old fishing boats surrounding the rear of the building were very picturesque. The town itself was lined with livable 18th and 19th century buildings.

This is a small museum. I was most fascinated with the video of how they used to fish, it looked hard work and very dangerous. The section on local fauna was also interesting, although this was just information boards. Huge selection of accordions and their history, not my thing but unusual enough to be interesting.

This museum is the only in town so you can't miss it. It is housed in one of Iceland's oldest house and has pictures and artifacts on display related to the old cosatl culture. there's also info on traditionnal hunting, fishing, herb collecting and drift-wood picking plus a quite strange movie staging a nineteenth century fishing crew. The old buildings are quite nice and I'd say that it is a must do in town.As a bonus, they also have lots and lots of old accordions.

Occupying one of the original 18th C. fishing and whaling station wooden buildings this small museum is an excellent introduction to history and life of this very remote whaling and fishing station, originally established by the Norwegians to support whaling and fishing in the Greenland and Iceland areas in the late 18th C. The video on the life and operation of the traditional rowing fishing boat is especially interesting.

Interesting museum depicting various aspects of Isafjordur in Iceland. Focuses on fishing as well as culture & maritime history of this area. Only a short walk from the spot where cruise ships berth.
