Description

Essentials about the Sexmuseum Amsterdam in brief

Amsterdam’s red light district De Wallen has always been known far beyond the city’s borders. So it is only logical that the city also has several erotic and sex museums. The Amsterdam Sex Museum, located on the edge of De Wallen, is the oldest in the world and probably also the most worth seeing of its kind in Amsterdam.

The collection of the Sexmuseum Amsterdam

Opened in 1985, the museum is one of the most popular in the Netherlands. It has a large collection of photos, paintings, sound recordings and objects related to the development of eroticism and sexuality throughout history. From pornographic plates from ancient Pompei to medieval sculptures and some of the first nude photos in history, the Sex Museum depicts the more permissive and less permissive societies and periods of history.
