A one of a kind museum

September 21, 2025 -- How can you go to Iceland and not go to the penis museum? The Icelandic Phallological Museum is one of a kind, the world's only genuine penis museum.  It is dedicated to collecting, displaying, and studying penises. The study of penises is called phallology.

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

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 fellow. There are also plaster casts of penises. 

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.
