    Must do if you're in Husavik. You can actually see these giants in person. All the skeletons are real. These are not fake. No whales harmed in the making of this museum as the skeletons were from dead beached whales. Admission is fair too and you get a discount if you have a whale watching ticket.

    Excellent place to learn about cetaceans and the research going on with them even as close as this bay. Beautiful displays, and even a nice little library to read more about this incredible creatures. Highly recommend it :)

    這是一個好地方去了解鯨魚和冰島在捕鯨業上的改變。

    This place was really impressive. First of all, to set your expectations, this is a really small, simple museum. It only contains a handful of rooms and can easily be completely covered in an hour. Even so, the star of the show is the whale bones on display and the images from around Iceland of different historical whale events. The bones are well presented and really interesting. When we were there, they had a blue whale skeleton which was amazing! I would highly recommend this after your inevitable whale watching trip.
