The 'Infamous' Phallic Museum
Yes, I did say 'Phallic' as in PENIS. I know, this may too much for many people, but you know me, I had to go see it for myself. It was incredibly interesting, educational (not in that way!) and not at all perverted.
It had everything from tiny mice parts to a giant sperm whale. I mean, how dedicated does one have to be in order to make this their life obsession. Although the story behind the museum is interesting, I prefer posting the photos.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present The Phallic Museum - - - -
Upon entering the museum, you are greeted with a very modern environment with tribute to phallus in wood carvings and photos depicting tribal customs dedicated to the 'P'. I marvel that I am walking DOWN the stairs to such a large area.
One of the main items of interest, are the pewter castings of the 2008 Olympic Silver Medalist Icelandic National Handball team.
I am not even going to guess how the artist achieved this. A round of applause, please for these very bold gentlemen!

From the tiny mouse's bits to the large, awkward walrus, their appendages are a definite contrast!
However, the sperm whale takes
the prize for size!
Many cultures used 'bully sticks' (i.e. bull penis) for whips, and even canes.
Doc Holliday's favorite cane was made of a 'bully stick".

This was a weird specimen ... The Mythological Troll
And with the imaginary Troll out of the way, there were actual 'Donations' (i.e. life-like castings) of two gentlemen's appendages. One actually has a name, "ELMO" and (bottom side) a photo from a proud gentleman.
I know you want more photos and believe me I do have more. BUT it's time we moved on to the Museum's Gift Shop and Restaurant :)

What else did you expect a Phallic Museum to sell?
The beer menu has catchy names such as Dick Johnson, Moby Dick, Phallic Pilsner, etc.
There was a food menu promoting Phallic Shaped Waffles. I thought they had marketing names, but I was wrong.
When it says "Reindeer Waffle", it actually contains Reindeer meat.
And this, my friends, ends the unusual but interesting trip to the Phallic Museum of Iceland. Not for you? You never know, until you give it a try!
