Búðareyri is sometimes referred to as the cradle of technology and settlement in Seyðisfjörður. Nevertheless, the future of economic activities and residency there is uncertain due to further landslide hazards. Búðareyrin has been called cradle technology and built on Seyðisfjörður, but today the future of economic activity and residence is unclear on a large part of it due to the risk of further landslides.
The exhibition aims to appeal to all senses and combines new technologies with older ones through multimedia solutions. The exhibition is housed in the old Mechanical Shop in Seyðisfjörður and extends outside, on the floors and wall remains of the houses destroyed by the landslide.
The exhibition is aimed at children and adults and is rich in information but structured so that each visitor can choose the depth of their exploration and perception of the content.
The exhibition is presented in both Icelandic and English.
