What is the Museum of Sex?
Opened in 2002 on Fifth Avenue at 27th Street, the Museum of Sex (MoSex) explores the history, culture and science of human sexuality through rotating exhibitions, a permanent collection of tens of thousands of artefacts, and art. It's thoughtful rather than seedy, but it's explicit, which is why it's strictly 18+. Current shows have included The Life Force portraits and Artifact XXX, drawn from the collection.
The headline draw is Super Funland: Journey into the Erotic Carnival, 19 immersive and interactive installations, with carnival-style games, a bouncy-castle-style room of breasts, and the Super Funland Bar.
Tickets
Buy timed tickets on the museum's official ticketing site. Prices vary by day and time, with weekday afternoons the cheapest and weekend evenings the most expensive. Resellers also sell weekday-only tickets. Advance booking is strongly recommended for weekends and holidays, when walk-up slots can sell out.
Bring a physical government-issued photo ID (passport or driving licence). Staff check it at the door, and you won't be admitted without it, even with a ticket.
