The Fishing Museum is in the old baiting shed, called Hlíðarendi. The shed was built in 1920.

In the first year, the house was used as a shipyard, where SigfúsÞorsteinsson built his boat called Hermann. The boat is now owned by the museum.

Mostly, the building was used as a baiting shed. The last decade in operation Hlíðarendi was mainly used as a repository for various types of fishing equipment.

The museum is open seven days a week from June 15 to 31. August at. 13: 00 to 17: 00. Groups can order subject at other times.
