What makes Old Icelandic Books truly special is its authenticity and rarity. This is the only place in the country where you have the opportunity to handle those rare books and manuscripts.

The experience is intimate and personal. It's guided directly by Thor, the guardian of the books that restores the books himself, offering first-hand insight into preservation, provenance and historical context. The Collection connects directly to the literary tradition that produced works like the 'Prose Edda' and 'the Poetic Edda', texts that shaped global understanding of Norse mythology and influenced writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien and composers like Richard Wagner. The experience combines scholarship, restoration expertise and cultural depth.
