GLJÚFRASTEINN THE LAXNESS MUSEUM

Gljúfrasteinn was the home of writer Halldór Laxness (the winner of The Nobel Prize in Literature 1955) and his family for more than half a century. The house is now a museum, where the author’s home is preserved just as it was when he lived and worked there.

The museum is open on Tuesdays to Sundays from 10:00–16:00.

Audio guides of the house are available in Icelandic, English, German, Swedish, and Danish, as well as an illustrated guide in French.

Gljúfrasteinn-Laxness museum is located in the valley of Mosfellsdalur on the way to Þingvellir National Park, only a 20-minute drive from Reykjavík.
