Icelandic Phallological Museum
An encyclopedic collection of mammal penises
Category Medical Museums, Unique Collections, Hunting and Taxidermy
The Icelandic Phallological Museum in Husavik bills itself as “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.”
Included in the museum are 204 "penises and penile parts" belonging to 45 different species, including 54 specimens from 16 different kinds of whale, and one lifted off a "rogue polar bear." The museum notes that it "has also been fortunate enough to receive legally-certified gift tokens for four specimens belonging to Homo Sapiens." The museum aims not merely to titillate, but to advance the "ancient science" of phallology, which examines how male genitalia have influenced history, art, psychology, and literature.
Join us on Obscura Day - March 20th, 2010 - for a special tour of the Icelandic Phallological Museum in Husavik, which bills itself as 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.

I saw the article on this in the new recently and thought it would be a great place to visit. I love weird collections of these sorts, especially when they are sex related. Strangely I don't think I saw your show on HBO and I tend to try and catch all the sex shows on there. I'll have to hunt around and see if I can find it somewhere. I liked your orgasm montage idea better too. Submited by : <a href="http://www.todosloslibrosgratis.com/">Libros</a>
