A quirky attraction in Reykjavik is this museum hosts phalluses from all kinds of species. The Icelandic Phallological Museum in the capital city boasts its massive collection of penises. It gets its name from the study of penises, i.e., phallology, and showcases penis and penile areas.
Currently, the museum's collection consists of over 300 penises of over 100 mammals. In addition, the museum has actual penises from the mammals found in the country and beyond. Aside from the animal specimens, it also boasts sculptures and displays circling the same topic. Visit this place only after careful research since you might not be interested in the exhibits. It houses phalluses of 283 different species representing all Icelandic mammals. This is a unique site although not everyone will enjoy it.
Sigurður Hjartarson found the museum in 1997 as he became interested in phallology. The current museum was shifted into a newer location in 2020 with a better collection and area. The museum also has legally sourced and donated specimens of human penises in their displays. Other notable items include a blue whale penis and a hamster penis bone. Aside from actual creatures, the museum also has (apparently) penises of folklore creatures like elves. The unique premises and collection attract many visitors to the museum each year.
