Whales of Iceland is the largest whale museum in Europe. The museum features life-size models of all 23 whale species found in Iceland's coastal waters, multiple interactive exhibits, a documentary theatre, and a free audio guide in 12+ languages. Whales of Iceland is open every day from 10 am to 5 pm. It is located right in the heart of Reykjavík’s harbor area. There is no better way to learn about the Whales of Iceland than seeing these giants up close and personal in full-size. They are so large that you will hardly believe your eyes, and you will certainly leave with a new perspective and appreciation for these interesting and beautiful animals. This innovative museum features an interactive minke whale and information stations that enhance and educate visitors about each whale. The exhibition space is stunning where the whales are the centerpiece and the atmosphere is like no other. You may feel like you are walking underwater. The strictest attention to detail and authenticity for the whale models was the foremost concern for Whales of Iceland. A marine biologist was consulted for accurate information and descriptive materials about each whale. The results of this data are beautifully rendered in the life size models that are realistic in size, anatomy and color.
