The Icelandic Phallological Museum

Type of place:Culture

The Icelandic Phallological Museum in Husavik bills itself as “probably the only museum in the world to contain a collection of phallic specimens belonging to all the various types of mammal found in a single country.”

Included in the museum are 204 "penises and penile parts" belonging to 45 different species, including 54 specimens from 16 different kinds of whale, and one lifted off a "rogue polar bear." The museum aims not merely to titillate, but to advance the "ancient science" of phallology, which examines how male genitalia have influenced history, art, psychology, and literature.
