1. Herring Era Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 238 reviews
The Herring Era Museum is Iceland's largest maritime museum - where the 'glory days' of Iceland's herring fisheries and industry are brought back to life in three different buildings. Róaldsbrakki, a 1907 salting station and bunkhouse. On Saturdays featuring a live outdoor salting show and accordion dance. Grána, a 1930s-era fishmeal and oil factory. The Boathouse, the town's thriving harbour of the 1950s with many old fishing boats at the dock. The museum is officially recognized as a museum specializing in the history of the herring fisheries in Iceland. It may even be the only museum of its kind in the world. Winner of the Icelandic Museum Award in 2000 and won the European Museum Award in 2004, as Europe's best new museum of industry and technology.

The museum, which is spread among three buildings, gave a broad overview of the herring industry. It covered fishing, processing the fish, the workers themselves, and the impact of the herring industry on Iceland. There were interesting exhibits containing boats, equipment, and personal items used by the workers as well as historical photos and videos. The entry fee was 1800 ISK per person, which was similar to fees at other museums we visited in Iceland.

Joined the fatbike experiance tour in June and had an amazing time! Never been on one before so I was a little hesitant at first, but was not disappointed by the beautiful scenery, rivers and waterfall. Not to mention the fun ride through the forest during the end of the trip! Gestur was great! Will definitely join the tour again on my next visit to Siglufjörður.

Happened upon this completely by chance when walking around the town. They were open for a tour, you might have to arrange a meeting if you wanted to drink here. Really amazing space they have to brew in, great to speak to the owners! The beers are going to be very popular and I think they will have to start brewing full time!
