The museum reopens after six months of closure

Saturday, March 12 last The Whale Museum in Húsavík reopened its doors to visitors and pedestrians after six months of closure. The museum has gone through a lot of changes in the last six months. The wreck that washed ashore at Ásbúðir á Skaga in 2010 has been put up for exhibition and visitors were invited to view the new exhibition, which brought great happiness to the estimated 300 visitors who made their way to the museum that day. Guests were offered delicious refreshments on the occasion of the reopening of the museum, where the whale cake was a hit. Since there are not many skeletons of cetaceans in the world, this is a unique opportunity for the museum to have such a frame on display, and we hope that as many people as possible will come and see the new exhibition. The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 14 p.m. every weekday, and there will also be free admission to the museum on March 14-18.
