Fodor's Expert Review Davíðshús

Akureyri Historic Home

David Stefánsson, the owner of this 1940s house, was one of Iceland’s most beloved poets and authors and a collector of fine art and rare manuscripts. His library, which is still meticulously preserved, together with all his belongings, is one of the country’s most impressive private collections. Look out for several paintings by Jóhannes Kjarval, who was great friends with the author and a frequent guest at the house.
