Dairy and textiles in days gone by is the theme for Sunday, 31 August. On this day, the staff at Árbær Open Air Museum will be performing various traditional tasks revolving around wool and dairy the old-fashioned way, which is fascinating to observe. For many, these old tasks carry a romantic charm, but feeding and clothing people required many hands-on efforts on the farm. As always, there will be hot coffee in Dillon’s House, served with delicious treats. Free admission for children, people with disabilities, and Culture Card holders. Welcome! Accessibility: The museum’s footpaths are mainly gravel. Many historic houses have steps and thresholds. Service dogs are welcome. Public Transport: Nearest bus stop: Árbæjarsafn (1-minute walk). Other stops: Laxakvísl and Fagribær (5–6 minutes away). Free parking, including blue-badge parking spots opposite the entrance, is available.
