Natural History Museum of Kópavogur
Hamraborg 6a, 200 KópavogurReykjavik
The Natural History Museum of Kopavogur hosts one of the largest exhibitions of preserved animals in Iceland, alongside a diverse rock collection. The exhibition “Home” provides an immersive insight into Iceland's wildlife within its natural habitats. We travel from the sea along the coasts of Iceland and up through the landscape to the highlands, giving us a clear picture of the biodiversity in Icelandic nature.
The “Between tectonic plates” exhibit takes us on a journey to understand the extraordinary volcanic activity that characterizes Iceland, resulting in eruptions occurring approximately every five years.
An assortment of rocks and minerals found throughout Iceland are on display, alongside a collection of Icelandic fossils. Opening hours: Weekdays: 8:00- 18:00 Saturday: 11:00 -17:00 Sunday: Closed
