It's a lovely museum with sometimes quite intriguing exhibitions. It's unfortunate that they closed the coffeehouse on the first floor this january, but the museum store has a small, yet nice, selection for the art lovers.

It's free and gives a good insight into Iceland as a literature country (we tend to brag about being one). There are often interesting exhibitions on the first floor and the staff are more than helpful with all your questions.

It's a good way to learn a bit about the country you are visiting. It gives a good summary of the country and the whole area is quite easy to navigate. Don't let the exterior look fool you, as it is quite nice inside.

The experience of this museum really depends on the person that walks into it. But if you put yourself in a serious mindset while looking at various animal penises, then it doesn't really serve its purpose.
