		Television personality and Akranes native Sigrún Ósk Kristjánsdóttir once described her home town as “a postage stamp.” While this town of about 6,000 people is certainly off the beaten track, the Reykjavík bus company Strætó hf has recently extended its city bus service to include Akranes.
		Akranes was first settled in 880 by Irish settlers (the more well known of whom are a pair of Irish brothers, Þormóður and Ketill Bresason), credited as creating one of the first uniquely Christian settlements in Iceland.
		Akranes is a fitting location for such a museum as the town’s football, ÍA, has won national championships enough times to make Akranes known as “a football town.” A couple points of interest: Vilhjálmur Einarsson won the silver medal for Iceland in the triple jump at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia.

		Bosnia-Herzegovina's NK Zeljeznicar comfortably defeated Icelandic champions ÍA Akranes to progress to a tie against the Norwegians of Lillestrom SK in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.
