Sexmuseum Venus Tempel in Amsterdam
The Venus Tempel in Amsterdam was opened in 1985. It was the first sexmuseum in the whole world! Other sex museums have opened since that time, in cities such as Paris and Berlin.
Inside the 17th century building at the 'Damrak' you will find a large collection of erotic painting, recordings and statues as well as a couple of special attractions. If you pay attention, you will also learn many new nicknames for ˜private parts'
You will be surprised by the large collection. It shows, that man's view on sex has changed dramatically through the ages. Learn about the wild Greek and Roman times and about the taboos in the Middle Ages and Victorian times. Nowadays people tend to speak about sex more easily. The wild sixties are a good example of this. The artistic and historical objects in the Sexmuseum give a good impression of the history of sex.
