Akranes' sprawling Museum Centre is full of nautical relics, crystals, fossils and tales of local sporting heroes. The folk museum wing displays antiques such as an old car and fishing apparel. Outside, there’s a restored boathouse, a drying shed, a church and several fishing boats, including the cutter Sigurfari.
