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.
