The Museum of Sorcery and Witchcraft (Icelandic: Galdrasýning á Ströndum) is a privately operated museum in central Holmavik and one of the most distinctive small museums in Iceland. It focuses on the 17th-century witch trials that gripped the Westfjords, presenting the grimoires, runic staves, and folk magic objects that formed the texture of rural Icelandic supernatural belief — as well as the judicial machinery that turned that belief lethal.
The exhibits cover specific cases: who was accused, what they were alleged to have done, how trials were conducted, and what happened to those convicted. The displays include replicas of the famous magical staves — symbols used for everything from attracting fish to harming enemies — alongside authentic objects from the period. The most notorious exhibit is a pair of necropants (nábrók), trousers made from the skin of a dead man, which in folk magic were believed to generate an endless supply of money. Open daily June 1 to September 15, 10:00–18:00; at other times by arrangement. A related site, the Sorcerer's Cottage in Bjarnarfjörður 27 kilometres to the north, is operated by the same organization.
