Fodor's Expert Review Byggðasafnið Hvoll

At the Dalvík Folk Museum, you can find out about the town's most celebrated locals, including Jóhann Svarfdælingur, the 2.25-meter (7-feet 4½-inch) tall "Viking Giant," who was for many years the tallest man in the world. A few of the rooms upstairs are dedicated to his life as a side-show performer and film star, and feature some of his custom-made clothes, costumes, and specially made furniture.
