This one is for a specific kind of visitor — but if you're that visitor, it's an absolute delight. The Eurovision Museum in the ground floor of the Cape Hotel celebrates Iceland's unexpected starring role in the 2020 Netflix film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, which was partly filmed in Húsavík. The film turned the town's fictional entry "Húsavík (My Hometown)" into a genuine hit, and the song reached a much wider audience than any actual Icelandic Eurovision entry ever managed.
The museum leans fully into the absurdity and affection of the whole situation. There are props, costumes, and memorabilia from the film, along with a broader celebration of Eurovision culture that will resonate with fans of the contest. It opened in 2021 and draws visitors who come specifically to Húsavík because of the film — a genuinely unusual kind of film tourism where the location itself had a supporting role. Even if you've never watched Eurovision, the enthusiasm on display here is infectious.
