Gljúfrasteinn – Laxness Museum Gljúfrasteinn was the home of writer Halldór Laxness (Nobel Prize in Literature 1955) and his family. The house has now been converted into a museum, where the author´s home is preserved just as it was when he lived and worked there.
The garden at Gljúfrasteinn is open to public and a number of pleasant walks can be made in the vicinity.
Audio tours of the house are available in Icelandic, English, German, Swedish and Danish. A folder is available in French, with detailed information about the house, objects and works of art.
