Review of 'The Museum of Whales You Will Never See' on 'LibraryThing'

No rating

I found this travelogue of museums in Iceland quirky and charming, ranging from the penis museum with a faux-serious name to a woman's collection of rocks to a man's devotion to stuffed birds. Along the way, with bits of poetic language and humor, the author puts together an intriguing and unusual view of this small island nation, its geography, its hard-scrabble past and its current capacity to support a wide range of eccentricities. Very enjoyable.
