Opened in 1997, the world’s only Phallological Museum has been growing ever since
Oct. 5th, 2016. Hjörtur Gísli Sigurðsson sources penises from farmers, slaughterhouses and trophy hunters. Occasionally Iceland’s Marine Research Institute will call him to say that a whale has washed up on their shores. Sigurðsson and his associates rush to the spot to harvest the creature’s organ. The collection of the Icelandic Phallological Museum has swollen in size from 63 specimens when it opened on August 23rd, 1997 – the birthday of Sigurður Hjartarson, its founder and Sigurðsson’s father – to 286 today.

England's Vagina Museum is not to be outdone. World's only Vagina Museum closes its doors in East London and seeks new home. Or maybe it is, given the nature of the sexist world we live in that systematically discriminates and devalues women. The word clitoris, for example, is practically verboten. We must feel shame and, though interested, pretend to be offended, shocked, and scandalized.
