Welcome to Icelandic Museum Rock & Roll

About the Museum

Many people know Icelandic artists such as The Sugarcubes, Björk, Sigur Rós and Of Monsters and Men. What’s their story? What’s their background? And how did these bands become so successful coming from the tiny population of Iceland? At the Icelandic Museum of Rock ‘n’ Roll you can walk through the history of Icelandic pop and rock music throughout the years. Guests can dive deeper into the history of each artist and listen to their music with the help of our specially made interactive LP player!

Opening hours

Opening hours are from 09:00 to 18:00 on weekdays and from 10:00 to 17:00 during weekends. Starting in the summer of 2025 there is no admission fee to the Icelandic Museum of Rock 'n' Roll. All are welcome to enjoy for free!

 

My heart is beating like a jungle drum.
