Here is a link to their sight, for a virtual "warm up" tour.http://www.phallus.is/en/.
According to their website:

The Icelandic Phallological
Museum is probably the only museum in the world to contain
a collection of phallic specimens belonging to all the various types of mammal
found in a single country. Phallology is
an ancient science which, until recent years, has received very little
attention in Iceland, except as a borderline field of study in other academic
disciplines such as history, art, psychology, literature and other artistic
fields like music and ballet. Now, thanks to The Icelandic Phallological Museum, it is finally
possible for individuals to undertake serious study into the field of
phallology in an organized, scientific fashion.
Don't you love the logo:

And there are some lovely photos available which provoke the imaginations, and might even get some of you lady readers juices flowing over your morning coffees.
I suspect 'Nilla's creative juices would start flowing, making her branch out from tentacles, if she got up close and personal to one of these whale penises:
Naturally, there is a Museum store, where you can pick up all things phallic: T-Shirts, keyrings, coffee mugs, yada, yada. Maybe we can persuade our local public radio station to use these as fundraising premiums for the next interminable pledge drive. I liked this little "conversation piece" for your coffee table:
What got Donna interested in this subject (well the museum. I think she's been interested in cocks since she was 11) was this blurb in the Huffington Post:

If tiny Iceland has a worldly cultural showcase, it is the Icelandic
Phallological Museum, founded in Reykjavik in 1997 and housing 300 penises and
penile parts from 93 different animals. So far, however, it lacks an
exhibition-worthy human penis. That omission is about to be remedied, as Mr.
Jonah Falcon, a New York City D-list celebrity with an organ that measures 13
1/2 inches, has accepted an invitation to donate (presumably not in the flesh
until he dies). Falcon notably refuses to appear in pornography, but said he
regards this mission, for what Huffington Post called the Louvre of penises, as
a higher calling.
When I read about some New Yorker contributing his 13" penis to the Museum it got me thinking. WC, are you going to let some duffus from the Big Apple try to put his cock on display without some competition from the Special Occasion Cock?
I hope this development provokes you to write up an organ donation form right away. Yes, I'm sure your tempted to donate it to someone who could use the added self esteem that would come with that sort of enhancement - say LA Governor Bobby Jindal? But think of your place in history man? And all those ladies getting pokies under their Icelandic Sweaters for generations to come as they examine what your legacy and ponder what could have been.
You're right, Mick, it was the mention of a 13 1/2 inch penis that had me looking twice.And no, that's not why I went to NYC a few weeks ago, or at least not the only reason!
ReplyDeleteHow about it WC? Care to measure up in Reykjavik?
