If you recall that event, then you will enjoy this museum and seeing the short movie about it. The gift shop is cute. The land around where this volcano erupted is beautiful and so solemn, Don't miss seeing this museum (although it is small).

We were lucky enough to meet with Haraldur Sigurdarson who gave us an introduction of the museum. Great experience, never to be forgotten.

The Volcano Museum (Eldfjallasafn) in Stykkisholmur is located in the town's former cinema, and is decorated with posters of old movies with a volcanic theme - Stromboli, The Volcano at the Top of the World, etc. This makes an interesting backdrop to a fantastic display of volcano memorabilia, including works of art, artefacts, geological specimens, etc, all collected by the famous volcanologist Haraldur Sigurðsson, who unfortunately wasn't in residence at the time! Upstairs is a video display of the Eyjafjallajokull eruption of 2010. The young curator was very knowledgeable, and not only did he speak to us in English, but I heard him speaking in German and French too, as well as Icelandic. Well worth a visit.

Veryt interesting combination of volcano saga and art. The movies and the library on the 2nd floor are also worth spending time at.

If you go to Stykkisholmur you can't miss it! The Volcano Museum is a pearl that you find during your walking in this small port town. What a pleasure my talk with the partner of Dr. Sigurðsson! He kindly welcomed me at the entrance and satisfied my curiosity giving lot of details on the pieces of that amazing collection. Testimonials of volcanoes from many parts of the world and a Wharol's painting for a very cheap ticket price. Thank you Haraldur!

Haraldur Sigurdsson's Eldfjallasafn Volcano Museum is a must see for any traveler to Stykissholmur. Located in a beautifully renovated old cinema, this museum contains various artistic representations of volcanoes, collected during Dr Sigurdsson's many worldwide expeditions to these same volcanoes. The works are artistically arranged and an explanation of each work's subject matter is conveniently displayed. Of interest also are the huge samples of each type of volcanic rock found in Iceland. An upstairs area, in which film projectors were formally housed, today is a cozy theater where visitor may view interesting film clips relating to volcanoes. These include a CBS "60 Minutes" segment in which Haraldur Sigurdsson is featured. At specified times, Dr. Sigurdsson also presents, in English, extremely interesting lectures.

Very small museum located in the heart of town, some rocks, some pictures and a video. Probably not more than 15 minutes of time.

Unfortunately we visited on the day of our arrival when we were less than fresh. It includes a display of artworks on the theme of volcanoes. Upstairs documentaries featuring the founder of the museum are shown. These were quite interesting but found myself drifting off due to the long travel day.

Yes, this could be better...could tell more about volcanos, and specifically the Icelandic volcanos. But as it is, it is highly relevant to this country/landscape, and if you take time to watch some of the videos (upstairs), it can be quite educational.Worth a visit, especially for the reasonable 800 ISK/Adult price.
