Glaumbaer museum


 

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick   		Glaumbaer museum
Glaumbaer museum
Glaumbaer museum is an old Icelandic farm, the oldest part from the mid 1700 and the youngest from around 1846.
This was a farm of a “well off” priest so it’s in no way the typical icelanding householdings. Those were much poorer and worse living places.
This building is though in many ways a good example of the architecture of the icelandic farms of better standards.
The outer walls were made of turf that was a good isolator in the harsh climate but maybe not the healthiest material to live with.
