The National Museum

The National Museum turned out to be close to our hotel, but in a different direction, offering us views of another corner of Reykjavik.




The Museum itself was a well-organized collection of items from the past, with interesting commentary (fortunately, in English as well as Icelandic).  We found items chronicling the development of Christianity in Iceland particularly interesting.










Near the end there was an exhibit covering 100 years of feminism in Iceland.  Below is a picture of women protesting laws that have different requirements for what men and women must cover up in public.  We like Europe's openness!
