The Icelandic Phallological Museum
冰岛阴茎博物馆
From penises of elves to those of whales
从精灵到鲸鱼——各展“雄”风

The Icelandic Phallological Museum in Reykjavík is without a doubt one of a kind. It contains a collection of phallic specimens that belong to various types of mammals. In the museum you can see a collection of more than 220 penises and penile parts that belong to all the land and sea mammals found in Iceland. It even has on display the penis of an old, Icelandic gentleman who died in 2011 at the age of 95. Furthermore, the museum has between 40–50 specimens from foreign mammals including a giraffe and an elephant.
冰岛阴茎博物馆/The Icelandic Phallological Museum位于冰岛首都雷克雅未克/Reykjavik，是全世界唯一一家专门收藏阴茎的博物馆。博物馆收藏了220多件各类哺乳动物，包括冰岛境内所有海生和陆生哺乳动物的阴茎。馆内还收藏了一位95岁的冰岛男子捐赠的人类阴茎样本，这位男子于2011年逝世。馆内的藏品还包括40–50件冰岛境外哺乳动物（如长颈鹿和大象）的阴茎标本。
“The purpose of the museum is showing these specimens,” says the curator, Hjörtur Sigurðsson, “but it’s also a scientific museum. Many professionals visit the museum to study, like biologists and doctors. The purpose is also to educate and amuse people and of course to lift the taboo that has been shrouding this subject for so long. It’s just a part of the anatomy; people should be able to discuss these things.”
馆长哈特森/Hjörtur Sigurðsson说：“创立博物馆的目的就是为了展示这些标本，但它同时也是一个科学博物馆，吸引了许多专业人士，如生物学家和医生，来这里来参观学习。我们的博物馆具有教育意义，也能让人轻松一笑，还能解除长久以来对阴茎这一话题的禁忌。其实，它只是解剖学的一部分，应该可以泰然自若地进行讨论。”
Sigurðsson says that what gets the most attention are the big things, like the penis of a sperm whale that is 1.7 meters long and weighs somewhere between 70–80 kilos. The human penis gets a lot of attention too.
哈特森说，馆藏中最受关注的是那些“体型”巨大的家伙，比如抹香鲸长达1.7米、重达70-80公斤的阴茎。当然，人类的阴茎也很受关注。
For the foreigners the folklore section is popular. “They find it very funny that we can display penises from elves, trolls and the hidden people.”
对于外国人来说，民间传说也很有意思。“他们觉得，我们能展出精灵、巨魔和隐藏人的阴茎，实在是太有趣了。”
Regarding the hidden people: some claim they can see the hidden man’s penis; especially the women.
关于隐藏人：有些人，特别是女人，声称他们能看到隐藏人的阴茎。
