A really fun video museum covering various topics like Icelandic Music, fisherman, landscape, history and recent events Each feature lasts 3 – 4 minutes and covers one topic. All features have matching show times, so you have about twenty seconds to walk to another cinema screen with another fascinating topic. There is no distinct order and if you watch all our features you will spend about an hour and a half in the museum which, fittingly, is housed in one of Reykjavik’s oldest cinemas. Open from 9 am to 5 pm Address: Austurbær, Snorrabraut 37, 105 Reykjavik.

From Austurstræti squere at your right you will see the Opera house. But if you walk to the left you will find our Parliament and our beautiful pawn and the City hall.
