The Settlement Exhibition

The Settlement Exhibition is based on the archaeological excavation of the ruin of one of the first houses in Iceland and findings from other excavations in the city centre. These archaeological remains turned out to be the earliest evidence of human settlement in the city, with some dating to before AD 871. It's a comprehensive display that covers Iceland's settling, culture, language and genomics.
