Two conservators, Ingibjörg Áskelsdóttir from the Reykjavík City Museum and Sigríður Þorgeirsdóttir from the National Museum of Iceland, will carry out the work. The ruin was conserved initially in 2006. Some parts of the ruins have become loose, both with time and because of some curious guests. The conservation treatment consists of cleaning, attaching loose fragments and then spraying the whole ruin with TEOS, the same material used in its original conservation treatment. In the spraying treatment, ethanol will evaporate. The Settlement Exhibition will therefore be closed from 1-4 September 2021.
