If you have any interest in Icelandic origins, religion. development and culture this is a MUST VISIT. The museum opened at 10.00am and I was told there was a free guided tour starting at 11.00am.

There was a superbly mounted exhibition of silver and the information was very well displayed. There is space enough to stand back and really look. What's to dislike??

A modern well laid out museum that gave a good history of the island and first inhabitants- it was easy to walk to from the Radisson blue hotel
