Amsterdam Sex Museum

The Amsterdam sex museum will probably be the first museum you walk by within minutes of arriving in Amsterdam. It's only a short walk up the Damrak (3 min) and you'll see the signs for the Sex Museum. Let me get one thing straight the only reason I'm suggesting the Amsterdam sex museum is because you are in Amsterdam and you have to take in everything it has to offer. Sex is everywhere in this city so get used to it. Plus the sex museum is a short visit and if your time is limited it may be one of the only museums you see.

The museum itself keeps a collection of erotic pictures, paintings, objects, recordings, and photographs. The museum opened in 1985 and of course most people thought it wouldn't get off the ground but it has turned out to be pretty successful. About 500,000 people visit the museum every year, which is a huge number considering the size of the museum.

Remember the Red light district is only a short walk from the museum and the two really go hand in hand. The museum will seem tame once you visit the Red light District I can guarantee one thing you'll have a good chuckle and you'll have the opportunity to do some people watching. Most importantly you'll see that sex has universal appeal and the cliental that visits the museum is as unique as those walking the streets of Europe. Enjoy the Amsterdams sex museum.
