Museum of Sex

How many cities can claim their own Museum of Sex? This one debuted in 2002 and despite its provocative title, offers a studied, historical look at the history of sex in our culture. The first exhibit was, ?NYC Sex: How New York City Transformed Sex in America? and featured displays of S&M, 19th century brothels, and videos of Times Square in its sleazy heyday of the 1970?s. In 2004 ?Sex Among the Lotus: 2,500 years of Chinese erotic obsession? opened displaying explicit imagery dating from the 2nd Century.BC. Who knew? Don?t miss a trip through the gift shop?definitely not your typical museum shop.
