| The first museum of its kind in North America, the Museum
of Sex opened to the public in October 2002 with the inaugural
exhibition, "NYC Sex: How New York City Transformed Sex
in America," with the launch of its second major exhibition,
"Sex Among the Lotus: 2500 Years of Chinese Erotic Obsession"
in March 2004.
The Museum continues its mission to present visitors with
an exceptional rotating series of informative, educational
and entertaining exhibitions that bring sexuality worldwide
to the forefront of discussion. Current exhibits include "Vamps
& Virgins: The Evolution of American Pinup Photography
1860-1960," "Stags, Smokers and Blue Movies: The
Origins of American Pornographic Film," and an ongoing
gallery spotlight on the Museum's permanent collections. |
