Not sure if this is the bedroom (ca. 1838) or the communal room (ca. 1895). Friend Lynn is photographing something on the door.

Trimmed like sleighs, the beds looked cozy but almost Pygmy-short

This "parlor" dates from 1896. Friend Jim is shooting into the adjoining room. Such a low ceiling! Skogafoss waterfall in photo at left.

Centerpiece of the Fisheries section, the eight-oared fishing-boat Pétursey, built in 1855. It was in service until 1946. This is its stern -- the bow was blocked by a tour group.
