The Museum of Icelandic Witchcraft and Sorcery

Fodor's choice

If you find the world of Icelandic witchcraft intriguing, this museum is a must-visit. Iceland has a unique place in the history of witchcraft as almost all the accused were men. This is only one of many curiosities of this terrifying time in the country's history, which mostly occurred in or around Hólmavík. Inside the small museum you'll find artifacts with morbid histories, exhibits with terrifying stand-ins, and a pair of necropants with a background so chilling we'll leave you to discover it yourself.
