Though the collection is technically whole now, Sigurdsson says there will be some room for improvement with future homo sapien specimens. Something went wrong with the removal of Arason’s donation—Hjartarson wasn’t able to oversee it, and as a result, it doesn’t look much like you’d expect. More like an indistinct mass of flesh in a jar than a recognizable human penis. “If my father had been there he would’ve closed the wound in the back and maybe stretched it a little or something. To make it look more like it should be,” Sigurdsson says. “When it’s been [in formaldehyde] for two hours or more, you can’t do much with it…We learned from this experience, you know. I won’t let that happen again.”
