Special collection

[shewhomust]

The Icelandic Phallological Museum.

No, really.

"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.

... The Icelandic Phallological Museum contains a collection of two hundred and four penises and penile parts belonging to almost all the land and sea mammals that can be found in Iceland."

Not to mention some mammals that probably can't be found: the catalogue starts with whales, dolphins, seals, and works its way via hamsters, sheep etc, to the folkloric section: kelpie, merman, troll ("Young boy, thoroughly petrified...").

You want to know if they have a human specimen? Go and check the catalogue (sorry, no direct link. Pick a language...)

Languages including Esperanto. Where did you find this?!

[shewhomust.livejournal.com]

In an Icelandic guide book, of course...

And I see the folklore section includes:

PFI 16 ENRICHING BEACH MOUSE Mus litoris Locupletatus. Penis bone
A mouse that draws money from the sea to enrich her owner.

Her owner? Her?

Indeed. I'm not getting very far with this, but I think mice may be feminine...

Best thing about that site? The fact that the menu includes 'Honorary Members' *g*

One of whom is a 'pseudomember'.

I wonder what the building is shaped like.

And do they sell Viagra in the gift shop?

[shewhomust.livejournal.com]

Oh, there is scope for some wonderful architecture there - though the building as shown on the web site looks very ordinary.

Oh...my.

::seriously considers a visit to Iceland::

Because really, this would be one of those places that one must see in one's lifetime.

Iceland in general looks to be one of those places...
