The Museum of Sorcery and Witchcraft tells the story of Iceland's 17th century "witchcraze," complete with "necropants"

I love quirky museums in out of the way places so when we visited the Westman islands we found the Sagnheimar Folk Museum. It was just delightful! It was a perfect place to spend a couple hours and get away from the rain outside.

The greatest part of this particular museum was the cartoonish rendition of the Turkish raids of the island in 1627. Looks like it was drawn by kindergartners but the material was super graphic and really quite disturbing (depicting events such as pillaging, kidnapping, rape and murder).
