The Yule lads visit the museum!
The 13 Yule lads arrive one by one on at 11 am every day, each on the day they come to town, to meet the children and teach them about their mischiefs and lore from the old farming community and have fun. On weekends, Flotsokka, Taska and Leppatuska arrive, one at a time, and jest with their brother and the kids in the hall.
