What People Are Saying About Museum Of Sex
Featured Review

The Scene – The red lighting and leopard-print stiletto-heel chair near the ticket desk will make you want to glance around nervously, like peepshow-goers do in the movies. But don't worry about being recognized; you're here for educational purposes, right? The museum, which opened in October 2002 , strives to educate the public about "the history, evolution and cultural significance of human sexuality." – – The Collection – Expect to see naked people everywhere, but only in photos, of course. You'll find young couples, their college professors and their tourist…

Saw some sexy, interesting things here
by accidentalvoyeur
I like this museum and would go back for different exhibitions. It was a fun way to spend 2+ hours. There are various rooms to wander and I feel there's something for everyone to enjoy and stare at. I liked the videos and descriptions of how other species of animals have sex.
Interesting place to visit
by Hugh531
The exhibition is basically divided into two sections. The first being about the evolution of sex within the animal kingdom. This is interesting but certainly throws a wet towel on the idea of learning all about sex. The other section is about the evolution of sex amongst humans. There are lots of interesting exhibits and some amazing artifacts to check out. Overall its really worth a visit and a great place to take your partner.. but maybe not on a first date =p
- Pros: Learn all about sex
Fun and Informative
by mshalhoup
You get to learn about sex and you get to see naked people. Right when you walk in the front door, they make it quite apparent you're in a sex museum with the decor and dark interior. You definitely learn some cool stuff, from sex in the natural to its evolution as a whole. You get a good mix of contemporary sex - in media - and the historic role of sex from our ancestors.
- Pros: Sex
- Cons: None
LOVED IT
by MikeyDisco
I LOVED IT. It's a museum for fornication. I'm a guy. There were clothe-less women. I watched the full Paris Hilton fornication tape. I LOVED IT. Do you need more? Okay fine... I also learned about the mating habits of dolphins, bears, monkeys, and ants. It's a museum for fornication... HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE IT!!!!
- Pros: clothe-less women, fornication videos
- Cons: not enough hands-on exhibits
A great time

- Pros: Fun and Educational
- Cons: Price
