A review is presented of the application of the Mössbauer spectroscopy to the study of quasicrystals. The usefulness of the Mössbauer spectroscopy to solving the atomic structure of a complex icosahedral system is illustrated. The role of the Mössbauer spectroscopy in studies of magnetism of quasicrystals is discussed. The Mössbauer spectroscopy results on phason dynamics in quasicrystals are reviewed.
