2018 ICELAND 33 - One bit more... The Phallological Museum

So a couple of days after doing my Iceland wrap-up, I noticed a TV show titled "The Final Member." It was a documentary about a Phallological (Penis) Museum. I wondered if this was the one we missed seeing (on purpose) in Iceland. It was...and here is the show info:

Have to say I was intrigued, so I watched the show. The topic seemed a bit squeamish for public entertainment, but after the first 10 minutes I kind of got used to it. I mean, it is just another body part.

The show turned out to be quirky, but interesting and begrudgingly worthy of a watch. Siggi, the founder of the museum, takes an analytical and educator approach to the topic. The show took some very unexpected twists and turns though. Just wait for "Elmo."

In spite of your personal view, apparently there is a lot of interest in the topic. In 2011, Siggi says 11,346 visitors from all over the world came to see his mammalian phallus collection.


Siggi is also a wood carver of phallic items such as salt and pepper shakers. It's hard not to chuckle, but this man is serious and totally dedicated to the topic

To read more, go to: http://phallus.is/en/themuseum.html. On the website you can also order related items like condoms, fridge magnets, books, penis shaped pasta, t-shirts, and much more.

For a link to watch the documentary, go to: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2318701/. There is nothing salacious about it. Just keep an open mind.
