Discover Skyrland: Iceland’s Unique Superfood Experience

The story of skyr began 1,100 years ago, 66 degrees north, during the Viking Age when Iceland’s first settlers arrived. Icelandic women created protein-rich skyr to sustain their families in harsh, weather-beaten conditions. Passed down through generations, the original skyr recipe and cultures remain unchanged, giving us the creamy, fat-free Ísey Skyr we enjoy today.

Skyrland offers an immersive journey into the world of skyr, Iceland’s iconic superfood. Through sights, scents, and tastes, this interactive exhibition unveils the story of how a Viking dairy product became a global health sensation. You’ll explore how skyr intertwines with Icelandic history, culture, and nature, making every spoonful a taste of tradition.
