Sexmuseum Amsterdam Venustempel, History museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Sexmuseum Amsterdam Venustempel is a history museum in the Dutch capital dedicated to presenting human relationships and sexuality. The collection includes photographs, paintings, sculptures, and objects from various cultures and time periods.
The museum opened in 1985 as the world's first institution dedicated to this subject. Since its founding, it has become an important place for exploring and understanding sexuality throughout history.
The exhibits show how people in different times lived and expressed their relationships. The objects come from everyday life in past cultures and reveal what mattered to people then.
The museum sits in central Amsterdam and is easy to reach on foot. Opening hours are generous, and it is worth checking ahead to find the best time for a visit.
The museum holds objects from the time of the pharaohs and the Roman Empire, showing how ancient such depictions are. These antique pieces make clear that interest in these subjects is not a modern invention.
