" This museum has a tinny collection of art and it is over 1000 kr for entrance. Not worth it! Expand the exhibits! "

" Cute place with some amazing pieces of art and a nice shop. Good for taking a rest from roaming the city of Reykjavik. "

" First off, I must say the building is gorgeous. The galleries are arranged in a fantastic way, I loved that part of it. I feel almost bad for the low rating, because I did not want to be reviewing the art, but here I am. I'm a fan of modern and contemporary art, the upper level had some exhibitions of fair work. One series of pencil sketches was literally an assignment I was given in art school in 1999, and it did feel more like a student show than a national level gallery. My main gripe is with the main gallery showing of Erro's work. Almost all his contemporary work is doing a small collage and then recreating it as a large scale painting, which is fine, but nearly every piece of this work is based off comic book art by Jack Kirby, and Kirby is credited no where. It's immensely distasteful and disrespectful for Erro to be using Kirby, who worked in American comics for over 50 years and created some of the most important work in the genre, to further his own career without at least mentioning that nearly every work shown is directly lifted from Kirby. Other comic artists are used as well, R. Crumb, John Byrne, both John and Sal Buscema to mention a few, and no credit is given. Erro's work is well done, it's just more the work of comic artists than it is his own. "

" Beautiful building, but the art inside... What is? Why? Really no sense, sparse... "

" The building is pretty cool but the exhibits were, in all honesty, a bit too sparse, weird and not interesting in a make you ponder kind of way. Definitely wish we hadn't spent money on that admission fee. "

" The gallery was mostly closed, however you still paid full price for the two exhibits open. One of which was an American photographer. The other, ironically, was a very minimalist exhibit that the term ' empty room' could capture. Art imitating life. Waste of money. "

" Le musée est lui même une oeuvre d'art. Les sculptures exposées aussi bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur dégagent une grande puissance et/ou une belle sérénité. Nous nous sommes régalés, y sommes restés presque seuls pendant 2 heures : un très beau souvenir ! "
