    A great exhibition, great layout and rules, good transportation, good service, naturally great. It's worth visiting anyway.

    It's just a big green area. I didn't see any exhibitions when I went there or when I wasn't there.

    If you're at all interested in history, this is an absolute must-see. Back in 2001, a company preparing to build a hotel on this spot in Downtown Reykjavik uncovered the remains of what is believed to be the first settlement in Iceland. How crazy is that? Construction stopped, of course, and a museum was built around the artifacts so as to preserve and display one of the most important pieces of Iceland's history.The museum itself is actually underground-- they literally built a bunker around the settlement site. You'll find the actual site open for all to see, as well as a wealth of information and interactive displays on everything from local wildlife at the time to a really neat exhibit on how the Icelandic language has evolved from its split with the other Nordic countries.
