Fish & folk - Evening Opening on Museum Night
On the occasion of Museum Night, 7 February, there will be an evening opening of the exhibition Fish & folk – 150 years of fisheries at the Reykjavík Maritime Museum. It will be open from 18:00 to 22:00. Free admission and everyone is welcome.
The main exhibition Fish & folk - 150 years of fisheries covers the history of fishing in Iceland, from the time when rowing boats gave way to large fishing vessels in the late 19th century, through to the 21st century. This complex story is told from the perspective of the country's largest fishing town, Reykjavík. The setting at the Maritime Museum at Grandagarður is appropriate, as the museum building used to house a thriving fish processing plant. Accessibility for people with reduced mobility is good at the Maritime Museum, especially at the entrance on the Grandagarður side. There is an elevator between floors. Bus number 14 stops near the entrance to the museum, on the Grandagarður side.
