Icelandic Phallological Museum, Reykjavik

The Icelandic Phallological Museum, situated in Reykjavík, is renowned for its extensive exhibition of male reproductive organs and related anatomical parts. As of early 2020, the museum relocated to a larger facility in Hafnartorg, approximately three times the size of its previous location. The collection within the museum encompasses well over 300 specimens of penises derived from more than 100 different mammal species. Additionally, the museum houses 22 penises originating from creatures and figures in Icelandic folklore.

In July 2011, the museum acquired its first human penis, one of many pledged by potential donors. The process of removing it from the donor's body did not go as planned, resulting in the organ becoming a shriveled, greyish-brown mass preserved in a jar of formalin. The museum continues to search for a "younger, larger, and better" human specimen.

Established in 1997 by Sigurður Hjartarson, a retired teacher, the museum is now run by his son, Hjörtur Gísli Sigurðsson. It all started with Sigurður's childhood gift of a cattle whip made from a bull's penis, leading to his diverse collection of Icelandic animal genitalia. The museum even claims to include penises from elves and trolls, despite their invisibility in Icelandic folklore. Additionally, the collection includes artistic representations like lampshades made from bull scrotums.

Over time, the museum has become a popular tourist destination, attracting thousands of visitors annually and garnering international media attention. Notably, a Canadian documentary film titled "The Final Member" delves into the museum's quest to obtain a human penis. According to its mission statement, the museum's objective is to facilitate the organized and scientific study of phallology, allowing individuals to engage in serious research in this field.
