    Real cool. A different type of musuem goes into the history of the magic practitioners of the area. And thier grim ends.

    It was fine. Like all the remote touristy things in Iceland it can be a little underwhelming. I am however, laying the groundwork for my Necropants.

    Interesting museum of an often taboo subject. The displays are in Icelandic but there are descriptions in many languages in booklets. The museum also has the only open restaurant in town. Good descriptions of the artefacts.

    Details the history of sorcery in Iceland. There's an English guide book provided upon ticket purchase. Neat and a good way to stretch after a long drive.

    The place is pretty small, but you get an small book in your own language about the place, which include everything they show there.
    I was mostly reading from the book, but it was interesting and different.
    I recommend if you are nearby

    Fascinating and very well documented ! The staff speaks many languages and gives you a manual to understand each part of this little museum. Possibility to eat and buy souvenirs. Great place !

    An interesting exhibit. Learned a lot about the history of witchcraft in iceland. Only a bit pricy for the size.

    Intetesting museum on an intriguing subject. Restaurant serves really decent food. Not a big place so it may be easy to miss.

    Interesting little spot if you are in the area. Smaller scale museum with guides in multiple languages about the history of sorcery and witchcraft in Iceland. Recommended!

    Interesting stories of magic and unfair witch trials. We were there at night and met a practicing witch who spoke to us for a while.

    Very pricey. Interesting history. But no real artefacts. Alot of replicas and plenty of reading.

    Small and properly the only attraction in the city. It's an option if tou're into that.

    It costs a bit to run a museum and protect relics, you don't get much for the price but it's worth it to say you've seen the Necropants and to be honest most museums in Iceland are probably smaller and less interactive than most tourists are used to. On a sunny day the cafe is nice with views across the harbour.

    This place is so rad. I learned how to make pants of human skin that grant you eternal coins through its groin (the skin is even taken consensually!), runes to conjure the face of thieves, and how to summon ghosts with my morning coffee. Also, get the fish soup
