Move over Metropolitan Museum, MOMA, Guggenheim and Museum of Natural History…
Make way for the Museum of Sex, opening it’s green door in Manhattan on September, 23, 2002.
:eek:
I recall that they have one already in Amsterdam, although I’ve heard it’s not all that. The woman with the bicycle driven dildo in the front window is an interesting touch, though.
There’s also one, IIRC, in Montemartre in Paris and another in Barcelona. Been to neither (yet).
Yeah, there’s one in the red light district of Amsterdam. Real tourist trap, and from what I hear, not much at all.
Bet it’s got an interesting gift shop.
“Excuse me, do you have a box for this?”
I’ve been to one in Amsterdam, not in the Redlight, but on Damstrasse (or whatever they call that main drag between the train station and Dam Square). It was pretty interesting, what with the vintage photos and ancient Japanese engravings and whatnot. It’s about time we had one on these shores.
By Damstrasse, I meant, of course, Damrak. Damn Boston accent:)
Is it just me, or is that the most irritating site layout ever?
I’d still visit the museum though.
Yeah, that much use of flash should really be outlawed. Or we should be able to beat the designer.
Hot damn, dinahmoe is right. We have two sex musea. Or am I confusing the Weed Museum and the Sex Museum here? I’ve seen the one on the Damrak too, but there’s definitely something in the RLD as well. Hmmm. Investigation required. 
How behind the times! Japan has numeros sex museums and fertility shrines (often one in the same).
