The Icelandic Phallological Museum in Húsavík, Iceland(formerly in Reykjavík) is a museumdevoted to phallology. The museum currently has 154 specimens displayed like hunting trophies, embalmedin formaldehyde, or dried in display cases. The museum attempts to collect penisspecimens from every mammalextant in Iceland, including several speciesthat are endangeredor currently extinctin Icelandic waters.
Sigurður Hjartarson, a former teacher is the founder and director of the museum. The museum also exhibits a few specimens from mammals not living in Iceland, as well as folkloricspecimens (alleged elves, trolls, sea monsters, etc.) and penis-themedart.
Although the museum does not yet have a homo sapiensspecimen, in the interest of advancing phallological knowledge, a confidentpatron has donated, presumably posthumously, an affidavitfor his own penis.
