Located in the center of Reykjavik, the Icelandic Phallological Museum is the only museum in the world that focuses on genital specimens. It was founded in 1997 by historian Sigurd Hjatarsson. This seemingly curious museum actually combines biological research with cultural interest, becoming one of Iceland's unique science attractions. The museum's collection is comprehensive, covering more than 280 penis specimens from 93 species of mammals, including polar animals such as whales, polar bears, seals, and even native species such as Icelandic horses. In addition to the specimens, the museum has a special exhibition area that analyzes the significance of the penis in evolutionary biology, and displays creative works of Icelandic folklore such as "Elf Genitals". The museum combines natural science education with the unique black humor of Icelanders from a perspective that breaks through conventions. It was once rated by Lonely Planet as an unexpected must-visit place in the world.
