Photographer's Note
SEE WS TOO!
Continuing in my intention to show strange things and never seen here from Iceland, today I stop in the capital where I can find the phalological museum. Unfortunately when we arrived it was already closed, and so I could only observe the windows and gadgets on sale. The Icelandic Phallological Museum is probably the only museum in the world that collects a collection of phalological samples belonging to all the various species of mammals found in a single country.
Phalology is an ancient science which, until recent years, has received very limited attention in Iceland, except as a marginal field of study of other academic disciplines, such as history, art, psychology, literature and other artistic fields such as music and ballet.
Today, thanks to the Icelandic Phallological Museum, it is finally possible for individuals to devote themselves to the serious study of the field of phalology in an organized and scientific way.
GADGETS VM 18
Proseguendo nella mia intenzione di mostrare cose strane e mai viste qui dall'Islanda, oggi mi fermo nella capitale dove potere trovare il museo fallologico. Purtroppo quando siamo arrivati era gia chiuso, e cosi' ho potuto solo osservare le vetrine ed i gadgets in vendita. Il Museo Fallologico Islandese è probabilmente l'unico museo al mondo che raccoglie una collezione di campioni fallologici appartenenti a tutte le varie specie di mammiferi presenti in un singolo paese.
La Fallologia è una scienza antica che, fino ad anni recenti, ha ricevuto un'attenzione assai limitata in Islanda, se non come un campo di studi marginale di alter discipline accademiche, come la storia, l'arte, la psicologia, la letteratura e altri settori artistici come la musica e il balletto.
Oggi, grazie al Museo Fallologico Islandese, è finalmente possibile per gli individui dedicarsi allo studio serio del campo della fallologia in maniera organizzata e scientifica.

Bonsoir Luciano,
Un musée qui est très original. La prise de vue permet devoir les détails des items qui sont en vente au musée. L'image est claire et précise. Bonne soirée.

Hi Luciano
Before I looked closed I thought that this was racks of sausage drying but no - a very different and unusual subject. Well spotted and taken.
cheers

Salut Luciano,
Original ce musée avec tous ces objets, bien photographiés. Bon, pour être franc ce n'est pas l'aspect le plus intéressant en Islande ...

Ciao Luciano,
Funny shot. But such gadgets one can see on the markets, for instance, in Bali. Have you bought such a souvenir?
In fact, I looked at the site of this, I saw a youtube video and it is a quite interesting museum of natural science. Pity you haven't shown us really impressive and interesting exhibits.
Best regards MAlgo

Ciao Luciano,
I didn't know there is a branch of science like this. The souvenir shop certainly offers fantastic gadgets. Great collection here. The repeated motif is always something what fascinates photographers. So this was a great photo opportunity.
Very exciting reportage,
M

Hi Luciano
There is a theory that the symbolic meaning of phallicism in the East was established to pray for the resurrection of the dead in the underworld and the prosperity of their descendants.
In the East, men represent energy like the sun, and women represent the moon and shade.
Passa un buon fine settimana.

Hello Luciano,
A very original photo and a bit amusing. I never buy souvenirs and I probably wouldn't need anything from this museum either. But maybe there are interesting collections inside. The photo is quite sharp for being taken through the window.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Luciano,
I heard of this museum in Reykjavik but I've never seen pictures taken there.
Your note says that the Icelandic Phallological Museum makes it possible for individuals to undertake serious study into the field of phallology. That serious work is demonstrated here in a very light-hearted way :)
Like Ian, when I saw the thumbnail, I thought of a rack of sausages. Well, Icelandic sausages then.
Funny series on Icelandic gadgets.
Best regards, Paul

Ciao Luciano,
Odd, yet a very different display altogether, from a country that most times I thought of snow and geisers, volcanos and waterfalls - not expecting such a museum there...
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

Hi Luciano
Lol! I have never seen anything like that before, well at least not for sale on a keychain. Some in a cave in Krabi, Thailand, and some on a wall in Egypt depicting a 'head' count of Libyan soldiers killed in battle. Good sharpness for a window shot with minimal reflections. Tfs!

these objects remind me a mug I saw once in portugal, it has a phallic structure where the wine would go away, another worst was an apron to men, if you take the base of the apron and lift it you would see a complete big penis in erection.
curious image, should be interesting to visit this unusual museum.
take care

Hello Luciano,
Ah yes, I heard about this museum and of course they have a museum shop as well with merchandise that is connected to the main subject of the museum. A great capture of this collection of these original key chains in different colours.

Hello Luciano,
My best friend gave a beer opener with the same shape, when we celebrated my first own flat. Its my favourite beer opener.
Best Wishes,
Gy.
PS: How you are doing with preparing to the re-opening?

Ha! Ha! Luciano, there is not one mention of the word penis and yet, there they are, of different colours and sizes! Clearly photographed and marked with 'Iceland'.
It is the sort of object that my son would have brought back when he was a teenager, showing a cheeky grin as he gave it as a present!
I wonder what the serious study entails!
A very unusual, original presentation on TE, Bev :-)

Hi luciano.
Truly amazed by these so brave photos, he did not imagine that there was a Museum dedicated to the study of the phallus.
That merchants do business under it, with the sale of key rings, salt shakers and jugs surprises me less, since they surely have a sale for a certain type of public.
Colorful, sharpness and luminosity are captured effectively.
Have a good day.
Warm greetings.
Luis.

Hi Luciano
Ah...I found my new key chain hahaha.
yes, this is certainly an unexpected scene from Iceland, wasn't going to predict you'd post this! but why not, its funny, its cultural, and we all learn something from it. Next time I'm in Iceland maybe I'll stop in. cheers

Ciao Luciano, questa me l'ero persa, forse me l'hanno censurata gli occhi, che ci fosse un museo fallologico in Islanda proprio non lo volevo sapere, bella nitida e ottimi dettagli, bravo, ciao Silvio

Ciao Luciano
Je remarque diverses saveurs de saucissons au séchoir.
Cependant les charcuteries d'Auvergne rouges me semblent trop entassées pour une désydratation uniforme parfaite!
Ciao

An original trademark of the museum, no doubt! Admit it, to whom did you bring it as a gift? :)

Ciao Luciano,
I think this is a first here on TE. :-) I see they have quite a selection of whichever color a customer might prefer like. This photo, and the one in the WS, are funny. Take care!

Hello Luciano,
!!!!! One heck of a most 'cocky' shot I've ever seen .... in here :-) Explicitly 'Delicious' and 'Hot'.
This is a place I would definitely visit and devote myself to study more ..... in term of the field of 'phallology' or more like 'personal pleasure' :-)
Too bad it was closed otherwise we'll see a lot more of these gadgets 18+ in various shapes and sizes :-)
I do like one of the gadget in WS2 - salt & pepper Penis. They are so 'horny cute'.
Thanks for the Icelandic's showcase display.
I can't believe I'm seeing this , they are as good as real :-)
