A really impressive collection of erotic art and artifacts from all over the world dating back from ancient times to contemporary media. Tickets are currently available for purchase online or in-person for 9€ (May 2022 price). Purchase in advance to avoid the line if you don’t like waiting in crowded spaces. Payment with cash or card. Not recommended for children lol. Parental discretion definitely advised. Displays are impressive and well-preserved, some have audio and/or text in different European languages. Some displays were out of order. Bathrooms available for payment customers, but we’re out of order that day. Wifi available on site. Guards are monitoring and cameras record everything, so be respectful and please behave yourself… Very steep stairs, so please be careful, especially children and the elderly or disabled.

3,5 stars. Multistoried displays of intricate eroticism. Quite interesting. I would have gladly spent more time browsing however the air circulation is poor to none. Hot air rises so with each steep ascension to the next floor of this museum, it became less enjoyable as basic needs such as room temp air was being usurped by the dozens of people in my immediate proximity. Visiting in late June not a great idea weather wise. Purveyors wearing token travelers backpack doesn’t help with space, direction of where to go next and detracts from comfortable temperatures of the floor either. The erotic carvings and tapestry’s are impressive. This attraction is worth it if temperatures inside permits. I’m sure I skipped a few displays as direction to go was obstructed by so many people.

This museum does a good job of taking you through the history of sex and its evolution over time. It also has some fun, albeit a little bizarre, mechanical attractions. Over the years though, this museum now feels irrelevant and in some cases, downright offensive. It is designed around hetero normative standards and excludes most LGBTI experiences. It's depiction of the transgender community is completely outdated needs to be removed. If you have an hour to spare, this museum can help you while away the time. Otherwise, give this a miss.

I would say this attraction is average. Staff seem interactive while you are going round the venue but can be a little off putting. Sadly this museum has hardly been updated since I last visited 6 years ago. There is potential for new exhibits and refurbishment because it is lacking excitement, however if you are there for retro p*rnography you are in the right place. Cost €10 which could only be paid in cash at the time and took about an hour to go round at most.

This museum is very well constructed and guides you through several things... don’t set the bar too high though - but for 5€ you definitely get more than what you’ve paid for. It’s worth to go in. You can just walk through and in 30minutes you’re done or you take the time to read and listen to the stories they offer from Josephine Baker to Marilyn Monroe - the history of Pin-ups and many more. Sex through the ages... find out yourself!

Really great museum with antiquities from different cultures. Old Marilyn Monroe displays too. Walked past on the way back to the main station. Open late. Great for a laugh as well. Full of tourists. The displays are funny. Old photographs and art depictions of older customs. Must check out the toilets they’re an orchid flower. Old footage on display. Ancient texts and old corsets on display. Roman age phallic stone pillars.
