You can literally feel the great Icelandic history here! Worth to see it. It's perfectly produced.
If you're into preservation of artifacts + archeology, this is the spot! Pair this with a visit to the National Museum of Iceland. btw, the national gallery js along the way...
This museum makes great use of technology, good for a 30 min to an hour stop.
Interesting to get in touch with ancient Icelandic history . Worth the visit.
A museum built around an excavated home from the early 10th Century. Pretty awesome.
Nice but a little pricey for what you get. Only do the main exhibition .
Try the elevator :)
Not very good not descriptive or eye catching very basic
Really 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. - Catherine Wroclawski
Kid friendly audio guided tour that glosses over the settlement of Iceland. Recommend going to the National Museum for specifics excavated artifacts. - Maya Shanmugam

The hype is real: those hot dogs are really good and worth the wait, even on cold days! - Julie L
Amazing building inside and out. Interesting shops and cafe areas. Worth even just a wander through to get a look at the incredible structure from the inside! - Justin
By far the best Te og Kaffi cafe in town! They might not have the greatest varieties of sandwiches or cakes, but the coffee is great. - Marel Jónsdóttir
