Welcome to Iceland, a very small nation with a very large number (two hundred and sixty-five) of (mostly) very small museums, often found in the backyards of houses. From Reykjavik's renowned Phallological Museum to a house of stones; from curious monsters to a museum of whales, here is an enchanted story of obsession, curation, and the peculiar magic of this isolated island.

Autorenporträt
A. Kendra Greene began her museum career marrying text to the exhibition wall, painstakingly, character by character, each vinyl letter trembling at the point of a bonefolder. She became an essayist during a Fulbright grant in South Korea, finished her MFA at the University of Iowa as a Jacob K. Javits Fellow, and then convinced the Dallas Museum of Art they needed a Writer in Residence. Of late, she is a Visiting Artist at the Nasher Sculpture Center and a Library Innovation Lab Fellow at Harvard University.
