New York has museums for art, history and science. This one is about something that has shaped all three: sex. The Museum of Sex explores how sexuality has influenced human behaviour, culture, politics and popular media through historical objects, artworks, photographs and immersive installations. Since opening in 2002, the museum has taken on subjects including sexual expression, gender, reproduction, pornography and changing social attitudes. Exhibitions range from serious historical research to deliberately provocative displays, making the museum as interested in how society talks about sex as in sex itself.
