Natural history museumPetra's Stone Collection
Massive personal rock and mineral collection in Stöðvarfjörður, east Iceland. Started by one woman in 1946, still growing. Not a professional museum - it's someone's obsession made public. Thousands of rocks and minerals crammed into buildings and gardens. Chaotic and charming. The east coast location makes it a worthwhile stop on Ring Road journeys. About 45 minutes to wander. Iceland rewards quirky individuals who follow their passions. Petra was one of them.
