This was an OK museum, the best thing was the indoor waterfall and fish in the pool. It was a neat concept but I feel it could be improved in so many ways. I don't regret going but I would not ever plan to go back.
We wanted this museum to be educational and expected a higher quality look into the folklore of Icelandic history, however, while the heart was there, the execution was not. Echoing the feeling of a student art project, most of the rooms were mediocre and some did not work at all, while most of the exhibit smells damp and old. Icelandic lore can be really interesting. This museum was not.
Experience was very dull, would not return or recommend. Elvish exhibit was poorly written with no basis for any of the "tales". Dioramas were not enough justify the cost.
Cute exhibits, ghost centre round the back not for the faint-hearted!
I just loved the museum. The ppl there were also very accommodating to show us part of their culture which was really nice. I do think one should definitely stop at this museum for the experience and is definitely value for money!
Learn about the history of the Icelandic people and dress as Viking for fun photo ops
Dissapointing. You walk through a dark corridor, listening to narration about elves world. There are a couple of mannekens dressed in "elf" clothes, a pond and a few "artefacts" such as furs and cheap beads. Movie about northern lights is poor quality, although that part of narration may have some educational value. Overall not worth the visit. Even my 6 year old was not impressed.
