This slightly embarrassing museum is located in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, and is the world’s largest collection of penises. It was founded in 1974 by historian Sigurður Hjartarson. Most of the penises come from mammals, but in 2011, the museum acquired its first human penis. Hjartarson hopes that someone will one day donate “a younger, bigger, and better one” to the collection.
