It's not quite an official museum, but legendary singer-diva Jón Kr. Ólafsson has for many decades collected items from the Icelandic music scene which he displays in his private home and welcomes visitors. There you can see shoes worn by a Eurovision contestant in the 80's, a dress worn by a singer in a late show on Icelandic TV in early 90's, hats, LP's and other memorabilia. But the main attraction is Jón Kr. himself who is a fantastic host and an unforgettable storyteller.
