The first snow of the season!

Remember to go out and enjoy it - build a snowman, ice-skate and make a lot of photos.

And when you get tired and/or cold, come and visit the NEWEST museum in Reykjavik - get yourself some warm drinks while strolling around, enjoying beautiful videos that will teach you plenty about Iceland.

Our Story

Tales from Iceland is a one-hour audiovisual, fun experience. On several stops you get to know Iceland in an innovative manner. You will stand up-close to a simulated eruption and experience the amazing northern lights in a real-time movie or in a virtual reality setting. You also get a chance for a virtual ride on an Icelandic pony and to practice your Icelandic, singing the hardest karaoke song in world in our karaoke cave. We have several photo opportunities, including a cutting-edge photo booth where you can create and e-mail yourself serious or silly pictures, shot on green screen with various backgrounds from Icelandic nature.

On the upper level, we have "Breaking News of the Past”, several 4-min humorous and inspiring documentaries on our culture. Narration and subtitles is in English, no headphones are needed. Comfortable sofas and chairs are provided, so you can sit back and rest your legs, while enjoying complimentary coffee, sodas and cookies and browse free wi-fi. Tales is a great way to begin or end your trip, a one-of-a-kind experience downtown Reykjavik.
