Outside the museum
Penis molds of the 2008 Icelandic handball team
Iceland's penis museum was founded by a school teacher Sigurður Hjartarso, who collected penises for 37 years before opening a museum in 1997. Most of the penis specimens are from the animal kingdom. The farm animal penises come from slaughterhouses. Seal and whale penises were provided by fishermen. The penises of the larger whales came from whaling stations. The museum also displays phallic artwork or penis-related objects and knickknacks. The gift shop sells penis-related souvenirs. The café serves waffles shaped like penises.

Over 300 specimens
Plastic casts of penises
The penises are either preserved in formaldehyde and put in jars or dried and hung on the walls. The largest penis in the museum is the ~6 foot long penis of the sperm whale. The smallest penis is from a hamster, only about 2 mm. Poor little guy. There are also plaster casts of penises, mostly human. There are silver sculptures of the penises of Iceland's 2008 Olympic winning handball team.
Penises from over 90 animals
Penises of all shapes and sizes
Little ones
Despite the theme, the museum is very well curated. There is a lot of scientific information about the penises and reproductive habits of the animals from which they came. There was also some disturbing information, e.g., how President Lyndon Johnson used his large penis (he called Jumbo) to intimate people.
Johnson's johnson is mentioned in the museum.
I liked some of the penis art.
Everything looks like a penis!
In the museum, everything was a penis.
"This museum is not for pussies!"
