The large one up front there belongs to a sperm whale.
This is a must see - the only penis museum in the world, and it is in downtown Reykjavik. The museum contains a collection of phallic specimens that belong to a variety of native mammals, both land and water creatures. This museum contains more than 200 penises, most preserved in formaldehyde. There are even three Homo Sapiens specimens (humans) and three more pending donations with written letters declaring their "prized possessions" will be donated to the Phallogical museum after their death. There are even 20 or more folklore specimens.

As an American, this topic is a very taboo one, especially in regard to displaying for all to see, but for Europeans, it is a quite interesting and intriguing display.

The folklore tale attached there explains some remains were found, suspecting of a troll, and were found well in tact due to high mineral content of the water. This is the penis which was preserved and displayed.
