Visited on very snowy day and found this to be very educational and informative. To get the best out of this you need to spend your time reading all the detailed information. Its in process of updating some areas for the summer when the bulk of visitors will go so if you have a couple of hrs to spare in Husavik go there.

Small but interesting museum about whales and dolphins with a nice video and some skelletons set-up. With your whale watching ticket you get a discount too!

The Húsavík Whale Museum is a well laid out and extremely interesting museum near the waterfront in Húsavík. The floor is artificial green turf because the local seniors play mini-golf in the museum and neither they nor us minded sharing the space. It was quite an interesting multi-use situation.The museum is in English and gives you more information about whales than you would ever need to know unless you happened to be a marine biologist. Upstairs they have several full skeletons of various species of whales. In other parts of the museum, you can read about where some of these skeletons originated (e.g. people finding beached whale carcasses and phoning the museum).If you happen to be in the Húsavík area, this is definitely worth an hour or more of your time.

There were many displays to educate us on the habits of the different types of whales. There was skeletons up the stairs of the different species. There was a comfortable room with coffee and books to read.

We visited the museum over the US Thanksgiving week and it was surprisingly quite enjoyable. The fact that the museum is in a fairly remote part of Northern Iceland, in a very small fishing village, is incredible. It is a world class museum and the exhibits are fabulous, informative and well presented. Upstairs is a small kids area and a large collection of whale skeletons. My kids were enthralled by the narwhal skeleton. There is an excellent movie that plays on a loop (45 minutes long I believe). A great deal of information about many different species, history of whaling, ecological influences on whale environments, etc. Several very nice interactive, hands-on exhibits. Because it was winter (and not many tourists venture far from Reykjavik and the southern coast in winter) we pretty much had the museum to ourselves. Well - accept for the senior citizens who were playing mini golf in the museum . They were very cute, but clearly we were in their way :). We spent more than an hour here and easily could have spent longer if the Icelandic hotdogs smothered in fries and cheese at the N1 across the street weren't calling to us...

We went to the whale museum before going out on a whale watching tour, and it was totally worth it! You even get a discount if you show them your whale watching tickets.The man at the front counter was very friendly and welcoming.We were was shocked by the amount of displays and information, both my husband and I are marine biologist we really appreciated it. They had everything from whaling, natural histories, conservation, marine environments effected by climate change and full skeletons. It was a veryWell done museum that was not huge and overwhelming.

This whale museum is situated in the whale-watching centre of Iceland - Husavik. It tells quite a bit about the various whale species that visit the island in the summer and displays bones of various species that have washed up on shorre in various places around Iceland and their background stories.

We enjoyed this museum before our Gentle Giants Whale Tour. We received a discount coupon to the museum when we bought the whale tour tickets!It was a nicely done museum with very dramatic and beautiful full whale skeletons. This really gives you the scope of the size of these creatures. Displays were interesting and lots of hands on. Easy to spend an hour walking around here and feels like a must see in this tiny village.

During my 8month stay in Iceland I have managed to visit this museum twice. So many interesting facts! I spent there everytime about 3hrs. It has everything connected with whales, facts about their lives, whaling, skeletons of stranded whales (along with their stories), ... Lots of stuff. Just reserve plenty of time.

We stopped in at this museum an hour before a whale watching tour. We didn't realize how big the museum was and spent most of our time in one room. Once we discovered how big the museum was we had to rush through to see it all. There were excellent exhibits and great info panels. Recommend stopping here and giving yourself 1-2 hours.
