Whales of Iceland

Whales of Iceland is a contemporary museum in Reykjavík featuring life-size models of 23 whale species found in Icelandic waters. Set in a spacious, softly lit hall with ambient ocean soundscapes, it offers clear, science-based exhibits on whale biology, migration, and conservation. Interactive displays and guided audio enhance context, while a small theater screens short films. It’s an indoor, family-friendly option that suits bad-weather days and pairs well with whale-watching trips by providing context before or after. Plan 60–90 minutes; onsite café and gift shop available. Ideal for visitors curious about marine life without venturing offshore.
