            Moon over Árbæjarsafn, Reykjavík, Iceland

The Arbaer Open Air Museum, or in icelandic: Árbæjarsafn, consists of more than 20 old buildings originating mostly from the centre of Reykjavik. Around the middle of the 20th century interest arose to preserve (to icelandic understandings) old buildings. The centre of Reykjavik around the turn of the 19th century was mainly made up of wooden houses being in a rather different state of  maintainance. Also turf houses were still a quite normal sight in Reykjavik. Along with the increasing construction of buildings of more durable material the wooden buildings got into danger to disappear slowly out of the centre of the city. Actually the maintainance of wooden buildings is still a problem in Reykjavik where quite a few house owners do not care about the condition of their old wooden house. In the Arbaer Open Air Museum houses will be found that are of historical and artistic relevance. Through the preservation of the old houses memories will be kept alive with the older days and may prevent that the ties with the past get lost. The Arbaer Open Air Museum was opened in 1957 and gives the icelandic population as well as foreigh visitors a good idea of the architecture, way of life and living conditions in earlier days in Reykjavik.
