It was one of the activity during our short trip to Amsterdam. There are many different and interesting sex shops. This museum is nice but a real touristic like a shop. I liked the black and white concept. I would not miss a lot if could not go there. More

This museum has some interesting exhibits, including a series of sketches by John Lennon documenting his marriage to and honeymoon with Yoko Ono. It also has some weird cartoon room which is done up to look like a children's room, but with an erotic slant - very odd. All in all, a fun trip, something a bit different anyway! More

Well, Amsterdam is probably one of the most unique and ambiguous European capital. On one hand, you'll find there the most beautiful, relaxing and quiet canals surrounded by charming old and typical houses. And on the other hand, Amsterdam is also the city of all permitted or at least tolerated excesses. In spite of what takes place there, and would... More

It is very small place cannot call museum. It is like a collection of such pictures, films, instruments.... No artistic side or historical side or even scientific side. Definitely a touristic staff. Just to spend time More

The sex museum is pretty much self-explanatory. It is in a small three story building with various rooms dedicated to different eras or cultural histories of sex. One room imitated Amsterdam's famous Red Light District, another had erotic pictures of women and men engaging in various forms of sex (S&M, etc), another had Chinese and Asian artifacts depicting couples in...

What a waste!! Probably the lamest excuse for a museum / attraction that I've ever been too... I couldn't wait to get out of there!! Unless you've lived wrapped in cotton wool all your life - just don't bother!! Not much to say really... left absolutely no positive impression on me at all. More
