Animal Penis Museum

Sigurdur Hjartarson collects penises for a living.

Hjartarson is founder and owner of the Icelandic Phallological Museum, which offers visitors from around the world a close-up look at the long and the short of the male reproductive organ.

His phallic collection, which began in 1974 with a single bull’s penis, now boasts 261 preserved members from 90 species.

The largest specimen, from a sperm whale, is 70 kg (154 lb) and 1.7 metres (5.58 ft) long. The smallest, a hamster penis bone, is just 2 mm and has to be viewed through a magnifying glass.

The penis museum is in the quiet Icelandic fishing village of Husavik, 480 km (298 miles) northeast of the capital, Reykjavik. and is open from May to September.
