5 Museums Every Photographer Needs to Visit in Iceland

If you answered yes to these questions, you’ll want to think long and hard about the trip you book. While there are many destinations to choose from, Iceland is a country that should be at the top of your list. It doesn’t matter if you’re an amateur photographer or a professional; nothing changes the fact that there are many photo opportunities in Iceland.

There are many steps you need to take as you begin to plan your trip. For example, you’ll want to search Expedia for accommodations. Even if you don’t plan on spending much time in your room, you’ll need somewhere to rest your head at night. Once you have your accommodations in order, you can turn your attention to your itinerary. In other words, what are you going to do when you finally touch down in Iceland? Like many photographers, you’ll turn your attention to the many well-known sights throughout the country.

If you need a push in the right direction, here are five museums every photographer needs to visit in Iceland (if you have the time and money, of course):

National Museum of Iceland

If you’re hoping to learn more about Icelandic history while also putting yourself in position to take a variety of high-quality shots, you’re in the right place. The National Museum of Iceland is beautiful inside and out, especially when you take into consideration the walk around the lake.

It doesn’t matter if you spend a few hours here or the entire day; when you leave, you’ll have quite a few photos that you’ll want to share and save.

There is a lot to like here, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to look around. For example, the Glacier and Ice Cave Exhibition is one that you don’t want to miss. It gives you an inside look at the glaciers of Iceland, including their history and what could happen to them in the future. With the opportunity to travel through an ice cave, you won’t want to put your camera down for a single second.
