Suggestions for Museum near Reykjavik

Catherine W. • August 17, 2018Really nice museum with a lot to see. They even have free lockers to hold your stuff during your visit. Definitely worth it, especially if you have a the Reykjavík city card.

Hrönn J. • February 6, 2016Fun place to visit especially with tourists from around the world. Nice people who works there and the whole little village has such a great history.

abigail. • February 5, 2018Very cool space for art - there is also a small lounge area with free coffee & a wonderful view of the harbor!

Hannah K. • July 25, 2019Love this place! The ice cave was amazing. Cool exhibits and wonderful view from the rooftop.

Stephanie • December 30, 2016Small but worthy, admission from hafnarhus is good here, too and the installations are well put together.

abigail. • February 5, 2018Worth the trip, very interesting if small museum with excellent sculptures on display.

Fukejř🧗 M. • October 14, 2018You can literally feel the great Icelandic history here! Worth to see it. It's perfectly produced.

Robbie G. • January 6, 2013Small, good quality exhibitions and free admission in the heart of Reykjavik. What more do you want?

Gabriel S. • June 11, 2022All modern art & not particularly interesting modern art either. There were 4 temporary exhibitions when I visited & no permanent collection

Harri M. • November 6, 2021A tiny museum in an old underground toilet telling you the history of Icelandic punk. More a story on the walls than. A collection of music over headphones. Imho, a must-visit if you are around.

Maya S. • January 25, 2017Kid friendly audio guided tour that glosses over the settlement of Iceland. Recommend going to the National Museum for specifics + excavated artifacts.

Anorak In The... • October 13, 2012Excellent Exhibition now: You Can't Stand in The Way of Progress

Andrew R. • June 18, 2016Small but totally worth the price of admission. Shows a lot about the inspiration for the architecture in the city

Rami I. • January 22, 2017A lovely way of not seeing the aurora. Takes about 20-30 minutes, mostly nice for the theatre.

Michael L. • April 30, 2013So this was an interesting place, and I leaned a lot about the settlement of the island and city, it's history in shipping and fishing. But I thought it was a museum about Vikings.... It's not.

Junren X. • January 31, 2018Don’t bother with the observatory ticket. Just go straight to the cafe for a beer + amazing view

Don V. • March 5, 2019Unique concept, more engaging than it sounds at first glance. Start upstairs where it's more about history - the films downstairs are more about the feels.

Jessica L. • May 13, 2016Danish decor magazines in the cafe 🤓

Matthew Riley M. • July 25, 2015Presented without cynicism or camp, this place is actually an amazing and interesting museum. Very fun. While small, it's well worth it.

Sigursteinn B. • January 26, 2012The staff were very knowledgeable, eager to please and served a lovely cup of coffee. The documentaries were very interesting and taught a lot about icelands volcanic history. A must see!

Sotiris T. • March 14, 2017Nice museum. Can learn lots about whales. The real sized models are very well made. Very good experience.

Rannveig G. • July 19, 2011Test the whale exhibition down stairs!
