Strandagaldur (Icelandic pronunciation:[ˈstrantaˌkaltʏr̥]), also known as The Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft, is a privately operated and publicly accessible museum dedicated to the folklore and history of sorcery and witchcraft in Iceland. First opened in 2000, and curated by Sigurður Atlason (d. 2018), the museum is located in the coastal town Hólmavík.[1] Based on research which began in 1996,[2] the museum contains various permanent and special exhibitions on subjects such as the Nábrók (or necropants)[3]Icelandic magical staves, Tilberi, and Icelandicgrimoires. An upstairs area focuses on the history of witch hunts in Iceland, and the genealogy of witches and their accusers. A note invites visitors to consider how they might be related to the historical figures.
