If you're into preservation of artifacts + archeology, this is the spot! Pair this with a visit to the National Museum of Iceland. btw, the national gallery js along the way...

This museum makes great use of technology, good for a 30 min to an hour stop.

A museum built around an excavated home from the early 10th Century. Pretty awesome.
