Reykjavik Settlement Museum
Reykjavik Settlement Museum submitted by DrewParsons : The Viking Long House dated to 871 AD. September 2012. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This annex of the City Museum is built over the excavated remains of a Viking Long House dated to 871 AD. The central exhibit is the Long House with its foundation walls and out buildings.

Around the perimeter of the building there are displays of artifacts from this era and interactive displays. The light inside the museum is very subdued so photographs are somewhat hard to take for amateurs like me!! The site is located at 16 Aðalstræti in central Reykjavik.
