A Museum of a Different Nature

Posted by Jen as Arts & Culture, Historical, Travelogger, United States

People aren’t always interested in ancient artifacts from sacred mountain sites and centuries-old paintings of romantic painters. And frankly, not all museums are either. In New York City, for example, there are museums dedicated to other works of art that explore man’s other muses. One of them, the Museum of Sex, is an obvious example.

Art is passion, so they say. And this particular collection has a concentration of passion unlike any other. The Museum of Sex or MoSex Museum is probably one museum high schools would never send their classes to. For those with a more mature state of mind, however, there is much to learn and discover. While there is supposedly a thin line between erotica art and pure unabashed porn, visitors have the freedom to declare their own boundaries.

So yes, aside from detailed research material of 2, 500 years of Chinese erotica, there are also various modern collections like porn videos, magazines, blow up dolls and other sex paraphernalia.

Although seemingly new to our eyes, this kind of museum has been long introduced. Also known as erotic museums and erotic art museums, they provide a different way of looking through mankind’s history. New York City’s Museum of Sex is located at 233 5th Avenue and has been opening eyes since 2002.
