Árbær Open Air Museum comprises a village-like collection of over twenty “homes,” each of which is a separate exhibition. Visitors learn how Reykjavík developed from a few scattered farms into the capital of Iceland. On Sunday June 26 guests are invited to experience a journey back in time as they watch the people in the village in their period costumes doing traditional chores in and outside of the houses. Up in the loft at the original Árbær farmhouse building tasty Icelandic ‘lummur’ pancakes will be cooked as yarn is spun in the traditional way. In a house called Nýlenda sits a fortune-teller ready to read your destiny. Who can tell what good fortunes lie ahead?
