22 Free (Or Cheap) Things to Do in Reykjavik in 2025

"I found the Icelandic Phallological Museum to be one of the strangest but surprisingly informative small museums I’ve visited — it displays penises from various species and was started as a joke by historian Sigurdur Hjartarson; plan on 30–60 minutes and admission is 2,750 ISK (20% discount with the Reykjavík City Card)." - Matthew Kepnes

Iceland Itineraries: From 1 Weekend to 1 Month (Updated 2025)

"I visited the Icelandic Phallological Museum (the so‑called Penis Museum) and found its almost 300 items — including whale penises and allegedly troll penises — to be an uncanny, unforgettable, and very unconventional museum experience." - Matthew Kepnes

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!

It was definitely fun and unique experience. I would recommend to stop by and explore this museum while in Iceland. There is a lot of information to read about the museum and basic ideas on which it was created. Lots of animals genitalia to see up close. Some interesting facts as well. They have nice gift shop with a lot of souvenirs. You can easily spend there 2 hours just reading facts and walking around.

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.

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.

Not what I expected. A very well created museum of all creatures great and small from shrew to whale and description of not only their privates but also of their diet, mating "rituals" and location. Also impressed by the drawings of each animal-- tastefully done and made the museum very cohesive. Most of the specimens are preserved and overall I was impressed by the overall look and feel of the place. Cute cafe as well.

It was quirky, educational, and surprisingly fascinating. The Icelandic Phallological Museum in Reykjavík is unlike any other. With specimens from whales to mice, it offers a unique look at anatomy, evolution, and culture. The exhibits are tastefully presented, blending science, folklore, and a touch of humor. It's weird in the best way—fun, respectful, and definitely memorable. A must-see for the curious traveler!

Really nice exhibition and a must-see on your visit in Reykjavík. Variety of real exhibits with a lot of info and art, topped with a good sense of humour. Also very nice themed café and gift shop.

It’s definitely a unique experience. It doesn’t take long to go through, but you might spend an hour there. When you’re in Iceland, why not check it out? There’s a gift shop where you can buy fun gifts.
