    A fun place to spend an hour or so - make of it what you want! Well I couldn't take it seriously - ooops, was I supposed to?!

    At least they provide comfy seats for those tourists with weary feet - maybe you can get the ones with a backrest (as in my pic) from Ikea?!

    The Amsterdam Sex Museum houses an extensive international collection of historical erotic and pornographic art, literature and artefacts. The exhibits include mannequins arranged in titillating tableau, Greek temple devotional items, Japanese carved erotic ivories and antique and modern fetish wear.

    There is a comprehensive selection of manuscripts and drawings ranging from the Karma Sutra to twentieth-century comics and a vast film and photographic library proffering every sexual predilection and preference.
    An interactive section offers visitors privacy in one of several small padded booths, with a selection of films playing continuously whilst the display of contemporary paintings can be viewed from one of three appropriately shaped seven-foot long vibrating chairs.

    I found the Museum surprising because it was astounding at how many people in the old days photographed pornography. A must see.

    Inside the sex museum you will find a great collection of erotic art from throughout history and a number of other entertaining exhibits.

    Theres everything from an extensive collection of literature and manuscripts portraying various illustrations of sex that have popped up throughout history through padded booths playing porno films to a gallery of alternative sexual fetishes.

    Also known as Venustempel, this is the world's first and oldest sex museum. The theme was sex through the ages. There were 3 floors of exhibits including erotic photographs, erotic recordings, erotic objects, etc. – everything from Kama Sutra to a mechanical “flasher”. All the halls and galleries in the museum are named after historical figures from the history of eroticism, such as Casanova Gallery, Fanny Hill Street, and Marquis De Sade Hall.

    Some things were funny, some were odd, and some were really out there but it was very interesting. Don't worry about being embarrased; you will find people of all ages from all around the world in this museum. And there is probably something in there that you haven't seen before!

    Open 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.

    Minimum Age: 16 years

    Admission: 3 Euros

    All visitor information was correct as of this writing.

  • Directions: not easily be seen. because it does not have any exaggerated decoration at the door but just "SEX MUSEUM"at the top of the entry and a board (as picture shown) at the side. This museum is just next to a restaurant.

    If you have an hour or so to kill, the sex museum is a perfect pace to go to. The museum opened its door in 1985. The museum is open daily from 10am to 11.30pm and it only costs 2.50 EURO. At first I was only going there with friends for friends. I was actually amazed at its collection about sex more than 100 years ago. You can see it through paintings, photos, and equipments. Anything that you can or cannot image is there.

    This place wasnt on my list of must sees but after our dinner cruise on the cannals we got off and werent tired. We were walking back to the hotel and we saw this place. We decided to check it out. It was very entertaining. I thought it was very funny. It isnt sleazy or anything like that and this place is rather big. There are about 3 floors each with different eras in the evolution of sex and different societies and different fettishes. You can take all the pictures you like and admission is only about 3euro.
    Its obviously not a place for kids but it is a fun place to visit if you have some time to kill.

    The ever famous 'Sex Museum' only available in Amsterdam.(there may be others that I do not know off).

    Actually, there's 2 of these museums in the city. And I went to the both of them. Very interesting I should say, but many people have termed them as a 'rip-off'. I didn't actually find it a rip-off, but rather educational in some way.

    There's a variety of things and stuff to see there, from test, pictures, items to even cartoons!

    If you have never been to one, then when you go to Amsterdam, don't waste that opportunity to make that visit. Trust me, it would somewhat turn out educational as I mentioned.

  • One of Amsterdams most unusual museums, yet most popular! Located on the edge of the famous Red Light District, this multifloor museum displays a wide variety of items related to well,sex. There are artifacts dating to all periods of history. Then there are more recent things to see like photographs and works of art by contemporary artists. If you have an open mind, the Sex Museum is certainly worth a visit. Sorry, no pics.
