Árbæjarsafn

After exploring the museum, he had to hit Árbæjarsafn, a site that closed at 5pm. Ron walked for 15 minutes in the drizzle and light wind to the Lækjartorg Bus Terminal, across the street from the government offices, and got bus 12 (Ikr 250) to that site, 4km east of the city centre.
Established in 1957, Árbæjarsafn (Árbær Museum) was an open-air museum featuring buildings from 19th century Reykjavík. Alongside the 19th-century homes Ron saw a turf-roofed church, and various stables, smithies, barns and boathouses - all very picturesque. At the museum there were several buildings that were insulated with turf on the roof. One was for keeping livestock, another a blacksmith's house, and another a larger house with sleeping accommodation upstairs. The employees walked around in traditional Icelandic clothing and let Ron take their picture. He ate an early supper here as well. It took about 3 hours to wander around the site and he didn’t see it all.Baca lagi
