fransmenn a islandi

This museum is small but offers real quality. The story about the french fishermen in Iceland is fascinating and very well communicated. Take your time to go through the interactive presentation. And the replication of the condition onboard a fisherboat is really good.

This small museum tells the story of French fishermen in Iceland and I found it really interesting. Faskrudsfjordur was a focus of settlement for the French fisherman and some of the streets here have French names, as well as Icelandic. The museum has interesting photos and other items. It is really worth reading the folders, that are available in different languages, to guide you around the museum. I was engrossed by the vivid descriptions of the lives of the fishermen and the dangerous conditions that fishermen on the boats, worked in so many years ago. The museum has a small cafe and sells some lovely postcards of the area.
