I often like a bit of modern art but found this ridiculous. A large space is occupied by an exhibition of 3 accidental paint spots on the floor and left me scratching my head. Another large space is devoted to the building of 'broken circle/spiral mound' which is basically a garden installation. There was a lengthy film (which I couldn't... More

We went here on a monday when a lot of things are closed. The entry fee gets you into all three museums which are unfortunately spread all over town.

Centrally located, with several fascinating exhibits. I tend to get exhausted at huge museums, so this was the right scale for me. Loved the building as well.

Don't waste your time in my opinion. This museum had 4-5 exhibits and all were rather lame. The artists were not of my taste.

Filled with colourful pop-art pieces and a cafe overlooking the harbour for your troubles. Ticket entry here gets you into 2 others in Reykjavik. Kids welcome.

I always check out art museums is bigger cities. It's a good way to get a bit closer to the country's culture.

Doesn't open till 11 am in the winter (doesn't get light till 11:30am). You also need to pay now 1000KR. Not sure it was worth it to be honest, but if you need to get out of the rain for a while. Sure.

Visited between major exhibitions, so there were only a couple of print shows up, which were nicely installed. Fabulous building, brilliant use of space, and a great cafe. The cafe workers took care to give us detailed directions to our next stop. And the museum is wheelchair--accessible.
