We went here and had a good old laugh. Its looks small on the outside and we thought we would be in and out in 10mins, esp as only 4 euro's - yet 40mins we were still chuckling at old the old history and photos. Deffo NOT for the prudish! More

There is more to this museum than meets the eye. If you are a prude leave it alone but if you are open minded like me then it is worth a visit. Some of it is very funny but there is a serious interesting element to it too. It interested me and I didn't find it sleazy at all. More

Its funny, but gets old after the second room. It's only 4 euros though so it's good value compared to some places e.g. madame tussauds which is 16 euros for entry! More

Most of the exhibition was totally explicit and the depictions of sex seemed rather mechanical to me. I did enjoy Mata Hari section as well as Marilyn Monroe in a recreation of the air blowing her dress (actually one of the most erotic displays as she was fully dressed but it was suggestive). Some nice statues which were also suggestive... More
