A museum has added an erect mummified penis to its exhibition.

The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art and Natural History, in London, bought the genitalia for £2,500 for one year and has decided to put the phallic piece on display, the Metro Online has reported.

The preserved manhood is believed to have belonged to an 18th Century Englishman who became aroused when he was being hanged.

And other pieces in the exhibition include ancient Chinese sex toys, mummified animals, the skull of a cyclops and a jar of the late Amy Winehouse's poop.
