Reykjavik Maritime Museum, Maritime museum at Old Harbour, Reykjavik, Iceland

The museum building contains seven exhibitions detailing Icelandic maritime history, housed in a former fish freezing plant from 1947.

The museum opened in 2005 and expanded in 2008 with the addition of Coast Guard vessel Óðinn, which participated in territorial water conflicts.

The exhibitions present Iceland's maritime heritage through artifacts and displays showing the progression from basic rowboats to advanced fishing vessels.

Located at Grandagarður 8, the museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available for the Coast Guard vessel.

The museum features the tugboat Magni, recognized as the first steel ship constructed in Iceland, which operated until 1987.
