The Icelandic Phallological Museum contains a collection of more than two hundred penises and penile parts belonging to almost all the land and sea mammals that can be found in Iceland. Phallology is an ancient science which, until recent years, has received very little attention in Iceland, except as a borderline field of study in other academic disciplines such as history, art, psychology, literature and other artistic fields like music and ballet. It's probably the only museum in the world to contain a collection of phallic specimens belonging to all the various types of mammal found in a single country. The Icelandic Phallological Museum is located at the top of Laugavegur shopping street near Hlemmur square.
