It's outside of the city center and it's easiest to take a bus, which is also covered by the City Card. Pick up a bus map from the TI. From the city center, we took Bus #6 to Artun then transferred to Bus #5. It stopped at Baejarhals. From there, we walked down the street and followed the signs to Arbaer. Cross the main road using the underground pass. We had hoped to take Bus #24, which appeared to stop in front of Arbaer but it didn't seem to stop at Artun.
Admission to the museum is ISK1600. I thought this was quite a good museum and worth the price of admission if you don't get the City Card. If you're short of time in Reykjavik, you may not have the time for it since it is harder to get to the museum. The museum is near the Laugardalslaug Pool so you could hit both. Plan on spending at least 2 hours here.
It's an open air museum. Representative Icelandic buildings have been brought from all over the island and installed here. Actors in period costumes tell the story of Icelandic culture.
Near the entrance, this entire building is dedicated to Icelandic culture. I found the section on Iceland through the decades in the last century particularly interesting.
