The monster tales of sea monsters have played a colorful role in icelandic folk culture for centuries and thousands of written accounts can be found all around the country. Today, these elusive creatures that still appear in Arnafjörður have been given a worthy home at the Icelandic Monster Museum, proclaimed to be one of the most prolific centers of monster activity in Iceland.
Visitors to the Sea Monster Museum watch these remarkable creatures brought to life through a lively mix of words, images, videos and an action packed multimedia display. First hand accounts from eye witnesses are joined on-screen by academic theories on the nature of sea monsters, while a variety of relics and artifacts relating to this mysterious branch of zoology appear throughout the museum, as further evidence for their existence.
