Icelandic Phallological Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Icelandic Phallological Museum in Húsavík, Iceland (formerly in Reykjavík) is a museum devoted to phallology. The museum currently has 245 specimens (as of 07/07/2006) displayed like hunting trophies, embalmed in formaldehyde, or dried in display cases. The museum attempts to collect penis specimens from every mammal extant in Iceland, including several species that are endangered or currently extinct in Icelandic waters.
Sigurður Hjartarson, a former teacher, is the founder and director of the museum. The museum also exhibits a few specimens from mammals not living in Iceland, as well as folkloric specimens (alleged elves, trolls, sea monsters, etc.) and penis-themed art.
Although the museum does not yet have a homo sapiens specimen, in the interest of advancing phallological knowledge, a patron has donated, presumably posthumously, an affidavit for his own penis.
