We loved learning about musicians from Iceland. The woman behind the counter was awesome! She helped us with pointers through the museum and some great local tips.

Visited the museum on our last afternoon in Iceland on the way to Keflavik airport, and enjoyed it. The only Icelandic musicians I knew about were Bjork, of course, and my very, very beloved Sigur Ros. Now I know about Kaleo, and a bunch of others. We bought a Kaleo vinyl album in the sweet little museum shop.
During our week-long stay, I was very surprised to hear American music in every shop and restaurant. I suppose I expected to hear a wider variety of music everywhere, more European, and especially more Icelandic music. Even on a Northern Lights bus tour, nothing but American music. How odd. But then, at the museum, we learning about the former US Army base, and the musical impact that had in Iceland.
Really interesting to me was the complete silence in the museum, which was SO welcome. And if you wanted to hear music, just stroll over to the turntables and choose a record to spin. That was fun!
I just wish there was some grand Sigur Ros exhibit, other than the massive wall art at the entry. Would have loved to see some hand written stuff by the guys in the band, like there was at the Bowie touring exhibit pre-Covid in Brooklyn.

We found out when we are nearly done that the boy at the front desk should have provided us with a tablet so that we could hear the music. He was preoccupied with watching cartoons on his computer and apparently forgot.
