The Museum Act establishes the framework for organizing museum activities to preserve Iceland’s cultural and natural heritage and ensure public access and understanding. It applies to state-owned and recognized museums, excluding libraries and archives. The act defines the roles of various types of museums, including main, recognized, and responsible museums, and outlines their responsibilities in collection, preservation, and public engagement. It also creates a Museum Fund to support museum operations and projects, with the Minister and Museum Council overseeing the implementation and regulation of museum activities.
