Nesstofa Museum in Seltjarnarnes is the home of Bjarni Pálsson, Iceland’s first Director of Public Health.  It was built in 1760 by the Danish king for the Icelandic people, who were under Denmark at that time.  It is made up of a combination of Icelandic basalt and Danish lime, and under the architect Jacob Fortling, a German Danish.

All the medical people used to live in Nesstofa, including the pharmacists, midwives, their staff and family.  

An apotek (pharmacy) based on written descriptions was rebuilt inside the museum.

This summer of 2016, there is an art exhibit in Nesstofa called Brjostdropar.  It is by eight all women artists, and they try to relate their work to Nesstofa, being the house of the first doctor of Iceland.

 

Here are a few photos.

Outside of the museum is a medicinal garden, just like at the time of the first doctor.  It has medicinal plants and what they call superfoods.  Food was also a medicine at the time of Bjarni Pálsson.
