But Husavik, Iceland—a diminutive village on the fringe of the Arctic Circle—boasts the world’s only museum devoted exclusively to painstakingly preserved male genitalia. Founded and curated by Sigurður “Siggi” Hjartarson, the Icelandic Phallological Museum houses four decades worth of mammalian members, from a petite field mouse to the colossal sperm whale, and every “thing” in between. Lamentably, Siggi’s collection lacks the holy grail of phallic phantasmagoria: a human specimen. Siggi’s world changes dramatically when he receives generous offers from an elderly Icelandic Casanova and an eccentric American. However, as the competition for eternal penile preservation heats up between the two men, Siggi soon discovers that this process is more complicated than it initially appeared.Here’s the doc’s official trailer:So how do you go about getting a bull penis of your very own? Well, if you preorder the Final Member Collector “Package” before June 17th, you get a DVD or Bluray of the Drafthouse Films documentary The Final Member, a signed certificate of authenticity, a penis donation form for the Icelandic Penis Museum and an actual bull penis preserved in a glass jar and sealed with wax.
