A Visit to the Penis Museum
Iceland’s Phallus Palace
Hi Men!
If someone says you are hung like a giraffe, take it as a compliment, as giraffes have the second largest land mammalian sex organs after elephants.
If a lover tells you that you are hung like a bear, this is not perhaps the kindest of comparisons, as bears are rather under-endowed for their size.
I had arrived in Reykjavik, Iceland, on an unusually sunny morning at the end of August, checked into my hotel — well, tried to check in but was too early — and wandered the streets instead.
I came across a sign indicating The Icelandic Phallological Museum.
A penis museum?
This I had to see. I entered a hallway full of cartoons, kitschy phallocentric artwork, and a short biography of the museum’s founder, Sigurour Hjartarson, an Icelandic former school teacher, headmaster, college Spanish professor, and Latin American history and Spanish language scholar and translator.
This museum contains Siggi’s personal penis collection, acquired over fifty years.
I perused a government certificate from 2017 declaring that this is the world’s largest exposition of phalluses, featuring 284.
