Stöðvarfjörður is located in eastern Iceland, not so many people but very beautiful. In such a desolated little town, there is a private museum made by a granny single-handedly.
The main collection in ‘Petra's Stone Collection’ is the stones collected around Petra's Stone Collection, all stones are solely collected by a woman named Petra.
Most of the collections are placed in a beautiful little garden, such a little garden is also the masterpiece of Petra.
Eastern coast is the oldest part of Iceland, the geologic formation can date back to 100 millions years, so the stones around here look colorful.
Besides stones, the museum also has some animal bones such as spines of whales, anyhow, bone is also a kind of stone, isn’t it?
Flowers blossom in the garden, even though you don’t admire the collections, you can still enjoy the beauty and the fragrance of the garden.
After all, this so-called museum is just a private garden of an Iceland granny.
Petra has died, her home has turned to a small tourist center, operated by her family.
Petra may have a lot of time, besides stones, she has also collected other stuff such as shells, matchboxes and pens.
Perhaps Petra is not a great person, but anyone who comes here will feel the love of this granny to her homeland.
