Árbær Open Air Museum
Árbær Open Air Museum (Árbæjarsafn) is a charming historic village museum in Reykjavík featuring over twenty restored 19th-century timber homes, turf farmhouses, a wooden church, and traditional craft workshops relocated from across Iceland. Originally established in 1957 on the site of an active 19th-century farmstead, the museum grounds have developed an active paranormal reputation. Museum guides, night security staff, and visitors frequently encounter poltergeist activity, disembodied footsteps, and the spectral figure of a woman in traditional 19th-century Icelandic dress wandering Dillon House.
