Can you find the sea creatures? Welcome to a scavenger hunt at the Reykjavík Maritime Museum during the Winter Break, 19-22 February at 10:00-17:00. Free admission for adults accompanying kids! Find the Sea Creatures! is a light and fun scavenger hunt that leads you through the exhibition Fish & folk – 150 Years of Fisheries. The goal is to find various sea creatures that have hidden themselves throughout the exhibition. While searching for the creatures, you can also learn about the history of Icelandic fisheries—from the era of rowing boats giving way to large fishing vessels in the late 19th century and all the way into the 2000s.

Let's go on an expedition! Welcome to a family workshop at the Reykjavík Maritime Museum during Winter Break, 19-22 February at 10:00-17:00. Free admission for adults accompanying kids! Imagine you are going on a long journey across the ocean. You travel by ship and get one large travel chest to pack everything you need for the expedition. In the 19th century, explorers and scientists went on long and difficult journeys across the ocean to study new lands. Paul Gaimard was a French naturalist who came to Iceland in 1835 with a large group of scientists. They brought trunks and chests full of equipment they needed to survive and carry out their research. Inside the chests were the most extraordinary things. What would you take with you?
