Icelandic Phallological Museum, Natural history museum in Reykjavík, Iceland.
The Icelandic Phallological Museum holds 280 specimens from 93 animal species, including whales, seals, and land mammals in scientific preservation containers.
Founded in 1997 by retired teacher Sigurður Hjartarson, the museum originated from his childhood experience of receiving a bull's reproductive organ as a gift.
The exhibition includes specimens attributed to Icelandic elves and trolls, reflecting traditional folklore despite these creatures' supposed invisibility in national tales.
Located at Kalkofnsvegur 2 in Hafnartorg district, the museum operates daily from 10:00 to 19:00 with an entrance fee of 2500 Icelandic Króna.
The collection ranges from a 170-centimeter sperm whale specimen weighing 70 kilograms to a 2-millimeter hamster bone visible only through magnification.
