This museum name refers to the years 871 plus-minus (+/-) two years, which is actually the date of the oldest settlement in Iceland. This was found in the excavation at Adalstraeti. This location is the subject of the main attraction at this museum.
The 10th-Century longhouse is the first attraction, other relics from the settlement age can also be seen. To create an immersive, interactive exhibit, cutting-edge technology has been used. It is a wondrous sight to see the relics that were found when the area was excavated to build the foundations for new buildings. You can see old nails, cooking, and building materials. The centerpiece of the main exhibit area is the excavation of a longhouse, with built-in rooms, entrances outlined, etc. An excavation revealing an ancient footprint of a building that turned out to be the oldest settlement in Iceland is the main attraction. Take your time in this place. There is nothing like it anywhere else.
