Rokksafn Islands - The Icelandic Museum of Rock 'n' Roll

About

The Icelandic Museum of Rock' n' Roll (Rokksafn Islands) is a fascinating family-friendly and interactive exhibition where you can walk through and learn all about the history of popular music in Iceland. The museum's format is built around a timeline of the history of Icelandic music, from the 19th-century classics right up to modern-day superstars like Bjork, Of Monsters and Men, Sigur Ros, Kaleo, and many more. A brand-new addition to the museum now offers you an incredible interactive tour of the history of your favorite Icelandic artists. The "Interactive LP Player" allows you to pick up and play an album that tells the story of famous Icelandic artists, including Bjork, Sigur Ros, and Of Monsters and Men and scroll your way through their history on an enormous display wall - you're fully in control of the display here. As well as that, you can try your hand at singing and playing along with some classic Icelandic hits in the popular “Sound Lab”.
