Nesstofusafn aka: The Icelandic Medical Museum at Nesstofa, Læknaminjasafn Íslands

The Icelandic Medical Museum at Nesstofa (Læknaminjasafn Íslands, Nesstofusafn) is housed in the beautiful old building Nesstofa on the Seltjarnarnes Peninsula. It is situated at the edge of town just next to the bird sanctuary around Seltjörn, the pond the town is named after. Close by you also have both rocky and sandy beaches.

Next to the small Nesstofa sits another building housing the Pharmaceutical Museum. I believe that these are in name two museums but that they may be considered just one.

The Museum is a part of the National Museum of Iceland and sadly does not have a separate homepage as of yet. Some info might still be found at the National Museum’s page. As the museum is soon to be expanded I believe a new homepage should be on the way as well. Until now, however, the Museum has only been open from May to September and only on certain days of the week. For opening hours or to arrange a visit outside normal opening hours please contact The National Museum of Iceland (p: (+354)-530-2200)
