The Icelandic Museum of rock'n'roll — Attraction in Reykjanesbær

Sounds to be a nice museum. My friend living in Reykjavik told me I had to do it as it was amazing. I discovered artist I didn’t known and will add it to my playlist for sure but my experience on the museum was not as great as said...

I came today around 2pm and basically not been welcomed: the girl at the front desk just asked me if I wanted a ticket and made me pay. I try to ask some information like « How long we need to visit the museum? » and maybe have some information where to start... but the girl just answered me rudely « it will take the time you want » and she sat back behind her desk... I had to visit by my own, and enjoyed some musics but at the end I discovered, I started by the end and there was actually little audio guides numbers through the differents steps of the exhibition. I never been proposed any audio guides at the entrance. It’s a shame I’ve been welcomed by this rude person.

They had some refreshments you could get, coffee, wine beer, snacks and a gift shop. There's also a movie theater playing music documentaries. Overall was...

You really need to be a fan of all Icelandic music for this to be worth it. It's a really nice well curated museum, but if you're going there for Bjork, Sigur Ros or Of Monsters and Men it's a little lean.

There are some very cool interactive experiences like the ability to sing, play guitar/bass and drums. The interactive vinyl experience is worth the trip.

Beyond that it's a little ho-hum and seems more like a corporate meeting space more than an actual museum.

Merch is ok. Good for CDs and Vinyl, not so much...
