The National Museum of Iceland is the definitive historical and archeological museum of Iceland, illustrating the cultural tradition of this cold country's thousand years of settlement. It has recently undergone a sweeping renovation, and reopened its doors to the public in September of 2004. The new permanent exhibit, titled 'Making of a Nation - Heritage and History in Iceland', depicts the history of Iceland, commencing from when the medieval settlers first arrived here, to the modern day.
