Located in Reykjavik, Iceland, the Icelandic Phallological Museum houses the world's largest collection of phalluses, with approximately 280 specimens from various mammal species, including one real human specimen. This museum is the result of serious scientific research by father and son Sigurður Hjartarson and Hjörtur Gísli Sigurðsson. Photo: Ren A.

The creation of the penis museum began with a joke in 1974 when Sigurður, Hjörtur's father, was given a dried bull penis. Some teachers who had worked at a nearby whaling shipyard began giving Sigurður whale penises as a continuation of the joke. From there, Sigurður conceived the idea of ​​collecting the genitals of various mammals. (Image: Youtube)

The specimen collection process began slowly with 13 whale and land mammal penises collected in 1980. By 1997, the Hjörtur father and son had amassed 62 penis specimens when they opened the museum. Photo: Spot Cool Stuff.

Owner Hjörtur shared that the museum was opened with the serious goal of dispelling stereotypes about the penis and encouraging people to study this particular organ in depth as a scientific field. 99% of local people have a positive attitude when visiting the penis museum. Photo: Gap Year.

The lampshades are made from bull testicles. The specimens Hjörtur chooses to display must fit the museum's theme. The penis specimens are preserved in formaldehyde or dried and mounted on wooden boards. The artwork and artifacts here are also designed to suit the museum's theme, subtle enough not to offend visitors. Photo: The Gold Van.
