This cleverly crafted museum (its inspired exterior looks like a shelf of books) pays tribute to the most famous son of this sparsely populated region – writer Þórbergur Þórðarson (1888–1974). Þórbergur was a real maverick (with interests spanning yoga, Esperanto and astronomy), and his first book Bréf til Láru (Letter to Laura) caused huge controversy because of its radical socialist content.
Þó°ù²ú±ð°ù²µ²õ²õ±ð³Ù³Ü°ù also functions as a kind of cultural centre, with changing art exhibitions, and a quality cafe-restaurant. There's a cluster of accommodation surrounding it, including the Hali Country Hotel. Museum entry is free for diners at the restaurant, and for guests at the hotel.
