Birds Museum Sigurgeir

Sigurgeir´s Bird Museum was opened on the 17th of August 2008. The goal of the Museum is to educate the visitors about birds, the biota in Lake Mývatn, and how people in the area used the lake for transport and to survive.

In the Museum you can find almost all of the Icelandic nesting birds, plus about 100 of the eggs, and in a seperate exhibiton, tools that were used to fish in Lake Mývatn. Opening hours: June 1-ug 31: 12:00-17:00 every day Sept 1-May 31: 14:00-16:00 every day

If groups are traveling during other hours it is always possible to call us and check if we can open.
