About This Museum

People wander into the Duus Museum, often by chance, drawn by the striking black timber building down by the old harbor. They come looking for a story about Keflavík, and they rarely leave disappointed. Inside, it's less a formal museum and more a stroll through the town's collective memory, from fishing skiffs to rock 'n' roll legends. You get a real sense of the community's spirit, its resilience and its heart.

Collection Highlights

You'll find everything from a beautifully restored fishing boat to exhibits on the vital NATO base and a wonderfully personal tribute to the local band Hjálmar. It’s that mix of maritime heritage, modern history, and pure local culture that makes it so special.

Visitor Information

It's right there at Duusgata 2-8 in Keflavík, easy to find when you're exploring the harbor area. Just pop in; it feels more like stepping into a knowledgeable neighbor's house than a stuffy institution.

Architecture & Building

The museum is housed in a handsome, historic building complex of traditional dark timber and corrugated iron, a classic Icelandic style that once served as merchant shops and warehouses.
