It includes currently 187 historical maps of Iceland from 1535 to 1849 which have been donated by the German couple Prof. Dr. Karl-Werner Schulte and Dr. Gisela Schulte-Daxbök to Akureyri Museum in Northern Iceland since 2014. A selection with alternating themes is exhibited yearly from spring to autumn.
