Húsavík Sights

  1. Icelandic Phallological Museum

    The unique Icelandic Phallological Museum houses a bizarre collection of penises of all shapes and sizes. There are over 180 pickled, dried and stuffed specimens in the museum, showing off the crown jewels of everything from hamsters to a blue whale. The only missing exhibit is that of a human. But don't rush, four donors-in-waiting have been found to add to the collection in the future.

  2. Safnahúsið Á Húsavík

    The Safnahúsið Á Húsavík is one of the best local museums you'll find in Iceland. The museum occupies the 1st and 3rd floor of the building (the town library is on the 2nd floor) and a nearby annexe. The natural-history display has the usual array of stuffed animals, including arctic foxes, a frightening-looking hooded seal, and a stuffed polar bear, which was welcomed to Grímsey in 1969 with both barrels of a gun.
