National Museum of Iceland is totally worth the visit as depicts the origins and history of Iceland in a beautiful setting. There are two floors of exhibition which showcase the history of Iceland dating back to the Vikings and then to the modern era. One can easily spend over an hour exploring the museum.
Great museum to visit for all things Iceland. Two floors of extensive history of how Iceland came to be. Expect 1-1,5 hour for just looking around but 3 hours to read and understand everything. Friendly and English accommodating staff-person. For students, ticket costs 1500 ISK (10€). Plenty of lockers and hangers available for use down the stairs from the lobby.
Amazing day out! A bit pricey however with Iceland's general pricing it's to be expected. Can be in there for a good few hours and the museum is very informative and well laid out. Lifts available too for people unable to go up and down stairs. Gift shop was cute.
The National Museum of Iceland has a good number of exhibits. It’s not too big, but we still got to learn a lot about Iceland’s history! The simple architecture is also nice.
I wasn't expecting it to be this interesting and beautifully designed! They did an amazing job of presenting the history of this wonderful country. It's definitely one of the best museums I've been to!
