One of the best museum experiences we have ever had! It completely captivated us with its animated and staged sceneries, supported by engaged and perfectly executed explanations in our languages (we used French and Swedish). We learned a lot that we will never forget. It was the perfect introduction to our visit to Iceland.

Interesting, informative and really good fun exhibition thanks to imaginative design. The coffee in the upstairs cafe is good. Plus there's great birdwatching from the sea wall just yards away.

My family and I had the pleasure of visiting The Settlement Center in Borgarnes, Iceland earlier this month. My wife is an Icelander and I've lived in Iceland off-and-on for close to twenty years but we hadn't yet visited the venue until now. My family and I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed both exhibitions. While at the centre, we also enjoyed a scrumptious meal. I highly recommend the Settlement Center to both my family and friends living in Iceland and everyone who visits Iceland.

Well-designed museum telling two interesting stories -' (a) the early settlement, and (b) one of the Sagas. The narration in the headphones was clear and at a good pace. The dioramas illustrate it all. In the lower level exhibit about the Saga, 9 artists had been commissioned to carve the dioramas and sculptures from wood. Hearing the saga and seeing the exhibits together was a treat. Wonderful gift shop. Wonderful Cafe with excellent vegetarian buffet. Not handicap accessible.
