<div><font color="#000000">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. <b> Phallology is an ancient
science</b> which, until recent years, has received very little
attention in Iceland, except as a borderline field of study in other
academic disciplines such as history, art, psychology, literature and
other artistic fields like music and ballet.</font></div>

Now, thanks to The Icelandic Phallological Museum, it is finally
possible for individuals to undertake serious study into<b> the field
of phallology</b> in an organized, scientific fashion.<br>
<br>
The Icelandic Phallological Museum contains a collection of over
eighty penises and penile parts belonging to almost all the land and
sea mammals that can be found in Iceland...</font></div>
