The mission of the Museum of Sex is to preserve and present the history, evolution, and cultural significance of human sexuality. Fresh and spicy changing exhibits keep people coming back for more. Truly the most stimulation museum in NYC where learning about history is both educational and fun!

The red lighting and leopard-print stiletto-heel chair near the ticket desk will make you want to glance around nervously, like peepshow-goers do in the movies. But don't worry about being recognized; you're...

Totally overrated

I thought this was going to be a museum of sex but it was more of a collection of porn. I might as well have picked up a book on the history of porn because there was SO much more to read than to see. There...

Mixed Feelings

We paid $8, because we had coupons from the AM New York and got a student discount. The feature exhibit was male sexuality. I would not have minded if I was there with my gay friends, but I was there with my...

don't waste your time

This place was a royal rip off! $15 buys you three exhibits that take 3 minutes to walk through. There was nothing interesting, funny or sexy about it. If you are so inclined check out their store - more...

Drop Your Panties!

I really love this place. I rarely expect to feel educated and extremely turned on at the same time, but that's what happened when I saw current exhibit, "STAGS, SMOKERS, and BLUE MOVIES" at the Museum of Sex....

I went to the Museum of Sex last week with a couple of my girlfriends. We always talked about going...but we were never sure what it was all about. I was very impressed, and I actually felt like I learned a...

Museum of Sex puts the X back in sex..with taste!

Love this place! If you're expecting to see a live sex show, X-Rated peep booths, then go to Times Square! The Museum of Sex is tastefully done and gives the patron a lesson in sex ed "Museum style". Entering...

A ROYAL RIP-OFF

The website of this museum is beautifully designed....don't be fooled. This is the dinkiest museum in NYC. $15??? WOW. This place is small, dark and crappy. All of the audio and video displays are too quiet to...

Empty your wallet

In light of the recent controversy of a staple modern art museum that raised its ticket prices significantly, it seems to have taken the initiative from the Museum of Sex on Fifth Avenue, which offered only...

Well worth it

This museum is one of the most exciting new museums to open in the city in the last decade. It is young and it certainly has some maturing to do. Nevertheless, it seems to be doing everything right! I can't...

My Grandma Still Likes Sex

My grandma was visiting from California and I, sheepishly, asked her if she wanted to go and she said, "YES!" We had a great time. This is a fun museum for anyone over 18; moms, dads, grandmas, students! My...

I enjoyed this exhibition and recommend. The museum is obviously young. But the show has a tremendous collection of objects, anecdotes, stories, some cool interactives. Not as much sex as I'd like to have...

Premature?

While I applaud the efforts of those involved in the research and opening of this museum based on NYC sex history, the museum seems to have opened prematurely. From the moment you step in, it's a bit...

Misses the G spot

It's trying, and there is a modest amount of interesting stuff. I particularly enjoyed the film footage of burlesque from the 20's. Certainly not a "sexy" venue, with spartan white walls with scattered...

Good sex - give me MoSex!

The museum presents sex and erotic art as an interesting, amusing and arousing part of our lives. It's a significant triumph as the city moves to crush what adults have a right to do - explore sex. What's so...

average at best

The ambience is anything but sexy. The building looks like it hasn't been completed yet. The collections are more educational than erotic.

Not sexy and not worth the dough

This place is far from sexy. Looks like any bland SoHo gallery with a typical museum format. Pictures on the walls, funny posters and the occasional porno playing make for some amusement but overall a very...
