"Surelythe world’s only museum to showcase the phalluses of an entire nation's mammalian wildlife, Iceland’s Phallological Museum is somewhat unique. Despite its obvious quirk factor, the museum is actually an interesting and—for the most part—fairly serious establishment. It offers guests the chance to inspect almost 300 penises (including parts of penises) that together represent pretty much all the land and sea mammals to be found throughout the country. A quarter belong to various types of whales, but there are also samples from polar bears and seals, as well as a letter from a local human pledging his own personal specimen posthumously. There are also elf penises, though you’ll need special psychic powers to see them."

SO MANY PEENS!!! Def an interesting and educational time. Love the detail in the branding of the museum specifically the table numbers and way-finding signs. They did not skip any details. Also the free lockers were super nice since it was raining when we went.

The Icelandic Phallological Museum delivers exactly what it promises—and then far more than you’re emotionally prepared for. I fully knew I was walking into a penis museum. I was still surprised by just how many penises there were, in every size, species, and presentation imaginable. It’s informative, well organized, and undeniably unique, but also mildly disturbing in a way you won’t forget. Funny, uncomfortable, oddly educational. Worth seeing once. Probably only once.

I realized how much more important this museum was when I decided to make it a tourist destination. I really appreciate it, and I learned a ton about the Phallological world! It’s definitely a must-see in Iceland! The food was amazing, and the wine was delicious too. .

A truly unique and fascinating museum! The Icelandic Phallological Museum offers an unusual yet educational experience. There is an entry fee, and to access the museum, café, and souvenir shop, you’ll need to walk down a flight of stairs. The collection is extensive and well-displayed, and the overall visit is both quirky and informative. Definitely a memorable stop if you're curious and open-minded!

Very interesting museum! Figured I would stop here while roaming the streets and it did pass time. Vet informative about the phallus of most creatures even the tiny ones. I was surprised there was whale phallus' there to view! The horse though... very interesting. All of it was good to learn about while touring the area. I'd recommend it to my friends.

Personally, unsettling. WEIRD. They do a poor job of marketing outside of Iceland because I thought this would be a fun, irreverent experience of adult-themed statues and photos... But these are actual jarred SPECIMENS! I don't know what creeps me out most, having to stare at all these gigantic or oddly shaped 'members' or that some person decided to cut the sex organs of various animals off to collect them! They should really have a plaque or something explaining that this is an anatomical museum, not a funny exhibit. I think most people come with the expectation that it's something fun to do. I could see biology or science students really be fascinated in this. I decided to at least try to enjoy it. The most entertaining part was the video! (DO watch it in full--but turn away at one extremely graphic part!). It explains the attempts of the curator to get the first human specimen...and the man who volunteered. I laughed so hard at the absurdity! The plaques, while informative, just give basic statistical data. I was disturbed by the mating habits of some of the species. One actually confused me (How does an animal "receive consent" for mating, as the plaque states?). The most fascinating specimens were due to size (enormous or barely visible) and shape (some were twisted like a spiral staircase and pointy at the end!). I love that they have free lockers for those of us with heavy valuables outside of our purses. I was able to stash away my large camera, backpack and groceries. Think I spent an hour here. No student discounts. Expensive entry at nearly 30USD. I can't say it's worth it--depends on your fascination with animals and biology and your morbid curiosity. For me, no. -1 for the snarky reply. Reviews are subjective. No need to be condescending, or even reply to every review.

Definitely a unique museum. Learned more than I ever needed to about various species penises. They have a cafe in the museum as well and located downtown so it is easy to access.

Well, let's keep this one close to our vest. We had to see this one of kind museum. Truly educational across species from bats to elephants to whales. Nothing really sordid, but probably best over 18. A nice if expensive bar.
