There’s a penis museum in Iceland

I learned about it today from this tweet:

In Iceland, an office building that hosts a penis museum and an H&M is also the virtual home for some of the world’s worst perpetrators of identity theft, ransomware and disinformation. https://t.co/wlnNU25E2q

Reykjavík's @Phallusmuseum contains the worldʹs largest collection of biological phalluses, with hundreds of specimens from the entire Icelandic mammal fauna and well over 100 foreign species.https://t.co/tcMy8yg8yl pic.twitter.com/VQhMn4gYtJ

The Icelandic Phallological Museum currently has just one human penis on display, left to the museum in the owner's will.

They expect the collection to grow over time, though; two more well-endowed humans have promised to donate upon their deaths.
