The Icelandic Phallological Museum is a one-of-a-kind museum that showcases over 280 penises and penile parts from various animals, including whales, seals, and even humans. It is located in Reykjavik, Iceland, and attracts visitors from around the world.
History of The Icelandic Phallological Museum
The museum was founded in 1997 by Sigurður Hjartarson, a retired teacher who had a fascination with phallology. What started as a personal collection eventually grew into a full-fledged museum, and in 2011 it moved to its current location in downtown Reykjavik.
Exhibits
The museum’s main attraction is its vast collection of penises, which are preserved in formaldehyde and displayed in glass jars. Visitors can view the specimens up close and learn about their size, shape, and function. The museum also has an exhibit on the history of human sexuality and a gift shop where visitors can purchase phallus-themed souvenirs.
Location and Hours
The Icelandic Phallological Museum is in downtown Reykjavik, thus just a short walk from the city’s main shopping district. It is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. The admission also is 2750 ISK which is roughly 19 Euros.
Nearby
The museum is located near several other popular attractions in Reykjavik, including the National Museum of Iceland, the Hallgrimskirkja church, and the Harpa concert hall.
