MILD X-RATED MUSEUM... We were told not to miss this Amsterdam attraction. The entrance was sexy and inviting. Paid 10€ and it was well worth it. Spent about thirty minutes gawking at three floors of erotic paintings and motion sex exhibits. Recommend this self guided tour learning about the old Amsterdam sex world. Humor is part of this museum but not for children, fragile humans or the faint hearted. Did not post most of the videos or pics on Yelp for obvious reasons. read more

In my opinion, you might try going into it with a different (historical) mindset. If you go into it thinking "Vegas style sex show" then you'll be disappointed. There was a focus on the history of 'sex' as far as origins of pornography, how 'porn' was exchanged back in the day, objects from various eras of history. It was actually rather interesting. There's also a bunch of old photos and magazines kind of thrown in there for fun, I guess. Lots of sculptures as well. I thought it was just okay.... I'm glad they didn't "Vegas-ify" this museum into some sort of cheesy tourist pull. Maybe the name of the museum is a little misleading? Not the worst way to spend €10. read more

No food here. Everyone coming out said it was would the 10 euros so we went in. Super fun history of sex. There were rooms of velvet and pictures of sex symbols like Marylin Monroe. Also funny interactive rooms as well that had us laughing. Would definitely recommend if ever in Amsterdam. read more

So cheesy and funny, sincerely worth a stop. Super informative I will say as well lol. Lots of funny props and exhibits to view all about sex, the history of it, and different sexual organs. Will take about a solid hour to go though, but you don't need a ton more time than that! read more

This museum was fun and interactive with fake peep shows and a fake red lights district. I think the art and paintings were very interesting to look at. There were a ton of old time dirty photos which were also interesting to see. My main problem was how crowded this place is. I wish they had specific time slots for tickets and limited the amount of traffic inside. After about 15 minutes it became very over whelming with the amount of crowds. It was hard to see many of the pieces of art due to this reason. read more

It's a bunch of relic pictures past depicted sex acts and seems to be enjoyed by women as there were twice the women in attendance as men. If you're here I suppose it's entertainment 10 euro admission read more

Very informative and entertaining. The passion and detail this place offers is top notch. You also get a good on it.

It was a lot of fun to see how Sex hasn't changed from the 1800's to now. Plenty of artifacts to look at

For a city know for its red light district, this museum was a bit of a let down. The layout was very narrow and crowded - could benefit from some timed entry tickets so the groups don't get too big. The fonts on the displays were also very small and not well lit, so people were basically on top of each other trying to read the displays. (I realize that's very on brand for the topic of the museum though! ha!) read more

This place is not really a must see. My friend and I went here because we thought it would be a fun thing to visit. The museum is actually fairly small. It is basically a collection of vintage sex toys, sculptures of genitalia, art, and old porn videos. This place might have been shocking before the internet, but not anymore. read more

Such a fun experience for our first time in Amsterdam! Definitely a must visit as a tourist! read more

Warning .. beyond rated R!!! Hope this doesn't offend anyone ... but Amsterdam puts Vegas to shame in having it all. Prostitutes and pot .. both legal here. not hard to find. Both aren't my thing and not into porn but hearing there was a sex museum we thought we'd play along and go check it out. My husband had a good point .. . that might have been shocking before the internet but now you can google up any sort of kinky stuff if you aren't worried about computer virus. We just did a quick walk through .. it wasn't our cup of tea .. but something to do once. its what you would expect .. lots of sex stuff ... toys, the sex parts .. sculpture, art, photos videos all sex themed. might not be for grandma and grandpa .. or maybe it is. .. guess it depend on how kinky they are :) ohhh if you do go .. go to the bathroom .. trust me. oh and theres some chair that gooses you . read more

He displays were dated but they had a wide assortment of different topics, devices and practices.

It's not the Louvre-- it's the Make Louvre. Kitschy, naughty, interesting, worth a look. Kinda weird judging the explicit photographs in a museum setting, like a purveyor of fine arts. "Ah, I like the asymmtery caused by the diagonal line of spleenk across the whore's face." "Yes, and the vibrant colors of the girls lips contrast against the horse's penis" and so on. Open late, you'll have a ball. Or two. read more

I must admit, I am not a sex museum expert, however, this sex museum seems to allow the patron to fully experience visually and tactically the history of sex. There are a plethora or sex toys and pictures of genitalia, mannequins in risqué positions, garter belts and knee high stockings, and it being Amsterdam, cannabis candy to help you lower your inhibitions. Definitely not a place to take the kids, and is located smack dab in the middle of the Red Light District, it's still a fun and provocative place to visit. read more

Amsterdam Sexmuseum - The ultimate dick pic - Museums Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

€4 is a pretty cheap price for an hour's entertainment. This is not the place you want to go with your parents or your kids, even if everyone's a grown-up. Seriously, embarassing. But it's interesting and I was particularly impressed with the fact that it really hasn't changed all that much. Pictures of naked people from the 1890's. Yep, everyone pretty much looks exactly the same then as they do now, just with more hair downstairs. Worth it for a one-time thing. I don't see a reason to go back. read more

The "museum" is just a random collection of old things that date back a few hundred years that have to do with sex. Random naked statues from China thrown next to an African sex doll. Everything was thrown together in this museum. There were rarely any descriptions of what you are looking at and it has no historical tidbits were given. Fun little stop in if you are in the area, but you will not gain any knowledge from this place. Also it is hella crowded. read more

At €4 entry price you can't NOT visit the sex museum; a collection of pure filth from approx late 19C onwards. From 6ft high cock chairs, to replicas of Marilyn Munro in her infamous white dress, and her early nude photo shoot with Tom Kelley, and porn pics from Ye Olde Days, plus more, The Sex Museum is a great laugh to be had. Prudes need not attend. read more

This place is a riot. Four years later, all I remember is that there was a 10ft tall penis and a ton of torture devices I wish to mop from memory. It's a funny place to pop into if it's raining or you have nothing else to do. Come armed with your 10-year-old-boy sense of humor. P.S. why did Yelp ask me if it's "Good For Dancing?!" read more

Okay, yes, you can sit on a giant (fake) penis in this museum (is that not reason enough to go?), but I was actually surprised by how educational and interesting it was. I thought it would just be a bunch of things to giggle at (and it was a lot of that, too), but we saw some cool things in there and learned a bunch. Good times! read more

Amsterdam Sexmuseum - *insert stiff dick joke here* - Museums Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

When someone says Sex Museum in Amsterdam the natural expectation is an experience that is entertaining, risqué and possibly even educational. Unfortunately, the Sex Museum was none of these things. Granted, some of the exhibits were funny but that was only a handful of exhibits in a cramped space. Overall it was a boring experience. I would be much angrier if the ticket hadn't been so cheap. read more

This place was awesome! Definitely something worth checking out if you're looking for something different to do! It's exactly what it sounds like- a full blown sex museum. Takes you through a timeline of sex through the years and how the industry has evolved in so many ways and changed over the years. WARNING: it is very graphic! If nudity or anything outlandish sexually makes you uncomfortable, do not go! It is very raunchy and raw and they do not hesitate to censor ANYTHING! It was honestly so much fun! read more

Oddly enough this place is easy to pass by as it's mostly a hole in the wall next to McDonalds of all places. Well if you're faint of heart, your religion is against sexuality, you're squeamish or puritanical, you're going to love this. Just kidding there. This is Amsterdam. There's stuff like this here. Really, it's a large collection of erotica, some ancient figurines, paintings, ceramic pieces, statuary, pictures and dioramas depicting things of a sexual nature like flashers, bondage, french postcards, oriental paintings, penises and sexual intercourse. The oldest pieces are some of the figurines and penises found in places like Pompeii. It's actually entertaining guaranteed to elicit more than a few guffaws, giggles and plenty of OMGs. I enjoyed it. It's also dog friendly. read more

Not a "museum" but rather someone personal collection of sex themed kick knacks. Mostly straight sex or menage a trois stuff. Clearly collected by a man or a few men. Honestly it was not worth the time. read more

Very cool museum and more informational/educational than you'd think! The cost of entry is pretty cheap, only €4. You get great info and a great laugh which isn't bad at allIt's quite a small space, but packed with a lot of paintings, photographs, sculptures, figures, videos, etc. It's a real museum about sex and I'd recommend you add it to your things to do in Amsterdam list. read more

It may only cost €4, but it's still a waste of time. There is nothing here worth seeing. It's just a pile of old pornography with just the slightest bit of organization. I think the exhibits were grouped by time period, but there was no effort to create a coherent narrative of sexuality throughout the centuries, or across nations or religions. They just found some old black and white photographs and tacked them to the walls. Yeah, you might get a laugh every now and then, but in Amsterdam €4 will buy you a lot more hilarity than this. read more

C'mon check it out, It's only €4. It a weird cool experience. I actually kind of did get some kind of stiffy here.The place has a history of pornography, and sex with life sized nude manicans coming out of nowhere and pictures from the late 1800's with old sculptures, and old peep show products. It's not that big of a place and it takes no longer than a half an hour to check out the whole place. if you have €4 to kill and to have a nice laugh hen check it out. read more

I really wanted to like this stop better: a museum devoted to my favorite subject in the world! And it has a lot going for it, too. It's inexpensive, warm, clean, well-lit and the bathroom sinks have genitally evocative designs with warm tap water. (If you had ever been to Amsterdam in Winter, you would understand how incredible warm tap water can be. Most European places have a tiny basin with only really cold water. Brrrr...) It also has a pretty special collection of old photographs and cartoons. It's amazing that the craziest stuff that we think of today is pretty much just a reiteration of what's already been done for years and years by those who have gone before. Unfortunately, it also has these sort of weird creepy mannequins in perverted situations. Rather than edifying, enlightening or inspiring, which I think of as being the domain of museums, they were a bit odd or sad. I would have liked more from the art and pictures. They make a more statement on what it is to be human, I think. The mannequins may amuse the younger people on holiday in Amsterdam, perhaps. read more

You know, the sex museum really isn't that bad. But I do think a lot of it depends on your outlook on sex. If you're just after something amusing to laugh at, then you will be happily satisfied by the range of crude displays and animations on offer. Frankly, if you walk through this place without laughing even the once, I think there might be something wrong with you. But there is more to it than that... There is so much more to sex than just innuendo, crudeness, so-called debauchery and physical stereotypes, sex is also about desire, emotion, sensation, curiosity and pleasure, and the museum tries to reflect that. Tries, but does not necessarily succeed. The museum had been advertised to me as an informative experience, an exploration of sexual expression through the ages and through different cultures, and the concept seemed fascinating. As a British person I think we are far too taboo about sex, and wanted to know if it had always been the case, and whether it had been the same in other countries. The museum failed to deliver in this respect. True, there were paintings, sculptures, books and various other artifacts from around the world and through the ages, but there was minimal, if indeed any explanation about the pieces. For example there are a collection of bronze miniatures depicting a variety of scenes from the kama sutra, I think there was a label saying they were from 19th century India, but what does that even mean? I mean to say, are they the product of some random Indian artist's attempt at satire, or is there some deeper meaning? Such is the case with about 90% of the displays. Which truthfullty is a shame because there are some wonderful things in there, which would love to know more about. I particularly liked the photography section, with sepia prints dating back to the 1800s. Some are tasteful, some are less so, but then what was the photographer trying to achieve...blatant eroticism? Or making a statement, pushing boundaries? Again, the lack of information frustrates me. I remember two things were explained quite well though: the chastity belt and the evolution of pornography, both of which were very interesting. Sadly there was no gift shop either. I think they're missing out on a keen market here. There were a few really tasteful paintings and photographs that I would have loved to buy as mini-prints or postcards but I was sadly deprived. The reason I bumped it up to three stars is because of the originality of the concept. There is so much scope for improvement, but there aren't many sex museums around now are there? And for that reason alone you should go and check it out for yourself. Unless you're a prude. No, especially if you're a prude. read more

Pretty lame, we got a couple of laughs but could have happily missed it. The place feels like they got a few inappropriate old magazines and sex toys then built 3 mechanical gimmicks and leverage off the ambience of liberalism Amsterdam is famous for. It was cheap so I can't get too pissy about it but I certainly wouldn't be recommending anyone go out of their way to find the place. read more

We came here thinking it would be small, but this place is about 3 floors of all kinds of sex education! From Art, to interactive experiences! Lots of interesting information and quirky things. Very entertaining. And it's only 4€! Definitely worth the price! read more

Amsterdam Sexmuseum - Museums Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

If you're expecting some lewd, crude and just plain dirty exhibits, this is the place to go. Wall to wall of debauched filth, it's a simulated experience that brings the tourist closer to the tourist's notion of Amsterdam. I don't want to divulge and revel in what I saw here, all I'd say is you need to have a good sense of humour and take it (no, not that way you filthmerchant) with a pinch of salt. There is nothing remotely sexy about the Sex Museum, but if you're looking for a laugh it's all in here. There are massive chairs erected (HAHA) in the shape of genitalia and a waxwork peep show, so just know what to expect. At times it tries to tap into the intellectual consciousness by being vaguely educational. There's some info about the red light district and in a purely innocent way, I found the old Victorian Peep Show slides really interesting! But other than that, it's a cheap thrills, go in and giggle kind of place. Mostly seedy but you might learn a little if you're not too stoned! God, I feel dirty just typing all this jazz! read more

We found this museum very interesting, it took us an hour to complete all the floors, well worth the €4. The pictures from each decade shows you that you didn't have to be stick thin to be seen as a sex goddess. I did find the stairs challenging when getting around & wonder how older people would manage. All up this was a great educational experience. read more

Amsterdam Sexmuseum - This was statue that I found interesting - Museums Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Cheap fee, kitschy as heck, and very seedy. So, this museum has potential for fans of campy humor- imagine the atmosphere of a 50's diner mixed with Vegas and plastered with pornographic polaroids. Its power to shock viewers is rather diminished in today's age of gratuitous online porn. Go in and have a mildly raunchy time. read more

Only €4 entry and was actually more informative than we expected. A little bit of a novelty and fun. It's not too big so doesn't take long to go around. Will pass an hour though and not break the bank. read more
