The Industrial Museum is a small, homely, relaxing and interesting place where you can see machines, devices and products from the blooming industry in Akureyri, from the early 20th century until today.

We also have displays from various private collections and also several examples of students final exam pieces from a variety of subjects. And an ever changing selection of items such as herring barrels, shoes, toys and variety of product packaging.

In the 60's and 70's, this small town was self-sufficient in almost everything from food, cloth, construction, fisheries etc.

The Industrial Museum is in constant development because the history of industry in Akureyri is ongoing.
