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.

A brilliant little attraction, but believe me when I say little , the entry fee is very fair, only cost €5 entry and there is no time limit for you to be in the "museum" however it is doubtful that you would spend more then 30 minutes here, this was my secind timie visiting the sex museum and a great place to go on a stag or taking your parter to help "learn some new tricks". On entry however you will be forewarned that pick pocketing is a real issue in Amsterdam and inside the Museum is the same. Be cautious and keep your belongings close to you as otherwise you will find yourself victim to this. The museum is an interactive experience and has lots of things that will hrlp make you laugh.

I feel as though the sex museum shouldn't be taken too seriously - I don't think it's intending to be an educational museum, more just a bit of fun, and a look at how sex has been perceived and interpreted through the years. It's only €5 per person and if you go in with an open mind, is an entertaining way to spend an hour or so. It's a sex museum, so there are of course, uncensored representations (in various forms) of the act in question - including some aspects that are not going to be to everyone's taste. However, if you're going to choose to enter a sex museum, I really don't think you can complain about them showing graphic content - it is, after all, to be expected.

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.

The exhibit is reasonably priced at €10 pp and takes under an hour to walk around. It's interesting and worth visiting to get some funny pictures. However, based on other reviews, we were expecting to be "shocked" by how "extreme" some people say the exhibits are, but honestly, we're a bit dissatisfied as it's very tame, and more humorous if anything. It's Worth going to say that you've been, and to get some light-hearted photos with some of the know exhibits such as the giant fallas sculptures 😂
