Icelandic Phallological Museum
Hið íslenzka reðasafn
A one-of-a-kind museum of mammal penis specimens, combining science and humor, and one of Reykjavík's best-known curiosity attractions.
The Icelandic Phallological Museum holds several hundred specimens from land and sea mammals native to Iceland, ranging from hamsters to giant whales. It also has a 'collection' of mythical creatures from folklore and specimens donated by people. The displays are academic in approach and carry a distinctly Icelandic sense of humor. The museum is located near the harbor in the city center and has a café. Its souvenirs are quite the conversation piece. Tickets must be purchased, and a visit takes about 45 minutes. It is suited to adult visitors with a taste for the unusual.
