Bummer. Looks like there are some captures of the old site from the wayback machine
still some photos of exhibits floating around if you search
I know someone who's gonna be really disappointed.
My god that character behind her scares me the first time I saw him
This is a masturbation only museum you filthy animals.
See, that comma is doing some interesting work here. My interpretation is that sex itself is not allowed to enter the museum. I'm not seeing any rules prohibiting patrons from engaging in naked fun time.
That museum is great, but "museum" is perhaps too high falutin of a term for it. As I recall they had one thing that could be considered an exhibit, about the history of drawn erotica in Korea. The rest was like sexy statues and such.
Still worth the trip.
Sounds a bit like the sex museum in Amsterdam. Weeee bit of cultural stuff thrown in but mainly just shock factor for the tourists.
Museum of Sex in New York seemed alright. Had a collection of Tijuana Bibles. It's been a while since I went, but I dunno if I'd consider any of it particularly shocking given what it's meant to be. That can be very subjective, of course.
One thing is that a well run academic museum does collections first and exhibits second. 99% of what they have is stored away for safekeeping, and can only be viewed and handled by qualified academics who make an appointment. I'm not sure any of these places would qualify.
Even that one seemed to have a little more historical gravitas, but that was definitely great too.
Zoomed in on her face, accidentally got a jumpscare from the kid behind her.
There's always a reason why they had to put it on a sign.
Getting strong Lionel Hutz vibes from the comma placement..."No, sex!"
Better get rid of this bar association logo too.
Just pretend to be part of the exhibition.
It's a love museum, after all, not a sex museum.
I see where your confusion came from. You're looking for the interactive museum.
Just down the road.

I can't believe I'm about to type "love museum" into the internet.
...
I can't believe the first result was an exhibition about Vincent van Gogh at the National Gallery.
Filed under false advertising, wtf?
