The Temple of Venus, The Sex Museum, Amsterdam

First put on display together in 1985 by Monique van Made and her father, this collection of erotic works is exceptional for the quality of the objects exhibited, its engravings, and its photographs of yesteryear. Far from being a focus for voyeuristic prurience, the Museum is intended to be understood as a serious center for the history of erotic art; with more than 224 illustrations in colour and b/w.
