Do you know the Vondelpark's best kept secret? Well-hidden underneath the bridge there's an bomb…read moreshelter from the last century called de Vondelbunker. And the Nederlanders wouldn't be famous for their Dutchness, their pragmatical suchness, if they didn't find a new useful use for such a place. If you fancy an alternative evening with music, poetry, games or movies (check the website www.schijnheilig.org), this is the place to be. And because imho the first review for this place is actually supposed to be in Dutch I excel myself to at least write a decent summary: Geen zin in beschaafdheid en dikkedakken? Liever gezellig drankjes doen en lekker ouwehoeren met mensen van de Amsterdamsche alternatieve scène? Dus ga gewoon naar de Vondelbunker.

We passed by this erotic museum while we were in the red light district. And right at the door,…read morethey had a female mannequin with her game face in a mini skirt riding a bike that had a dildo attached to a motor moving up and down. OK that looked interesting, let's go in and see what this museum was all about. At the ticket desk, they also sold condoms with interesting and creative graphics and words on the packaging. One says "it isn't going to lick itself" hahaha! The admission only costs €7 so we decided to give it a shot. There were a total of 4 to 5 floors and I remember we kept going up and there's still more upstairs so it's bigger than it appeared. The museum housed mostly paintings , sculptures and even some private erotic drawings by John Lennon! There were also some erotic photos of Madonna that were really hot! With all the People choices celebrities nowadays, I still think Madonna is the ultimate sex symbol of all-time, hands down. Her attitude, her open-mindedness and of course her nice figure all contributed to that. The museum did have some BDSM toys for display but not a whole lot, pretty much just the top floor. If that's what you're hoping to look at instead of erotic art, then this might not be the place. We definitely didn't go in with a dirty mind but more like an open mind. It's interesting to see all these erotic art and how artists appreciate and express this natural human instinct through different forms of media. For €7 it's worth it. For more action stuff, there are always live sex venues and licensed hookers in the area! If every country is like the Netherlands, so uninhibited and liberal, the world will be a more peaceful place, without all these violence and terrorist attacks that basically mean there isn't enough fxxking going around.

LOVED THIS MUESEUM EXPERIENCE!…read more I planned to go to this museum after our canal tour to prepare us for what was coming next. . . And it really did. We got to learn all about Amsterdam's famous right light district before seeing it for ourselves. I had a lot more knowledge, and honestly more respect for the hustle. They teach you all about how much this line of work is regulated and how health & safety is everyone's top priority.

The Red Lights district in Amsterdam is a legendary place that's a must visit (if you are over the…read moreage of 18) when you visit the Netherlands. My wife and I came at around 6 and then came back around 9 for the full (okay, not FULL) experience and figured we should probably check out the Red Lights Secrets museum and learn a little about the history before we leave. Walking into this place is pretty cool and it feels like you are just exploring a building full of history and stuff that'll blow you're mind. The employee in the front was super nice and handed us our speakers and we were on our way. The next half hour or so was full of a complete history of how the red lights district operates, everything to know about the girls and what they have to do, and a whole lot of everything in between. This place was super informative and I loved every second of it (and yes, we do see boobs inside). Overall, Red Lights Secrets was a fantastic experience and a must for anyone wanting to learn about prostitution in Amsterdam and the history of this great city.

There are over 200 paintings. Quite refreshing are these are life style paintings of ditch life and Dutch people. It's a nice change from the many religious paintings you see in other places. The audio tour is only in Dutch, but don't let they discourage you from coming to just enjoy the building and the great collection of art. Likely not a top place to visit, being overshadowed by the Mauritshuis directly across the water, but still worth a view if you have time and the msuesumkaart.
