"Vikingaheimar is the home of the Viking Ship Islendingur (The Icelander). Built in 1996, Icelander is an exact replica of the famous Gokstad ship, a remarkable archaeological find of an almost completely intact Viking ship, excavated in Norway in 1882.
Vikingaheimar is also home to a portion of the Viking millennium exhibition Vikings of the North Atlantic. This exhibition sheds light on the Norse settlement and explorations of unknown lands.
These two fine projects, both celebrating Iceland's central role in the discovery of North America in 10th Century by the Norse Vikings, have now found a permanent home in Vikingaheimar, a spectacular modern building situated right by the Faxafloi bay in the town of Reykjanes."
