The Vestmannaeyjar Municipality has informed the Museum Board that Sæheimar (or the Natural History Museum as it is called from October 31, 2019) has been merged into the operation of Sagnheimar – Byggðasafn Vestmannaeyjar. There has also been a change that Vestmannaeyjarbær has taken over the operation of the museum from the Vestmannaeyjar Knowledge Center.
Since Sæheimar was a recognized museum and now belongs to Sagnheimar, which is also recognized, Sæheimar's recognition is therefore revoked and Sagnheimar's current recognition applies to both museums.
