Lonely Planet review for Reykjavík 871 +/-2

The city’s newest exhibition, Reykjavík 871 +/-2, is based around a single 10th-century Viking house but shows what miracles can be achieved when technology, archaeology and imagination meet. Through 21st-century wizardry, a fire leaps from the hearth, while around the walls ghostly settlers materialise to tend crops, hunt, launch a boat, and bury their dead. Go and marvel!

    Awesome use of Computer Graphics to Recreate Viking History

    scorneilson recommends this,

    When a city hotel discovered that there were remains of a Viking home from "about the year 871" in their basement, they found the perfect way to make the museum both informative and accessible. Using the latest technology they have combined computer graphics with vivid imagination and have made this museum a must-see for all ages!
