"Match of the century" in Reykjavik

The so called Match of the Century was the chess world championship between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 1972. It's one of the most famous chess matches because it took place during the "Cold war", between an American and a Russian and Bobby Fischer's victory ended the hegemony of Russian players in the World Chess Championship.
Is there something commemorating this event left in Reykjavik, like a chess museum, themed bar or else?
