Wax and silicone statues show the important and sometimes violent events of the country in the first centuries. After the tour you can try on historical costumes and imagine that you are descended from the Vikings.

For four years they worked in their own garage on the figures, the clothes, the jewelery, the weapons and all other utensils. And the result can be seen. The Saga Museum, a family initiative, offers much more than just life-size characters.
Þorbjörg lítilvölva was a Völvur, a wise woman with a high status, who was able to predict bouts and was asked for advice.
Especially since it is not about wax figures, but about life-size figures made of rubber, which look much more real. They are distributed in 17 installations of various historical events from the conquest of Iceland to the Reformation, which culminated in the execution of the last Catholic bishop in Iceland, Jón Arason on November 7, 1550, and marks the end of the Middle Ages in Iceland.
