Description
For an institution devoted to erotica, this Midtown museum is on the conservative side, ironic considering it’s in NYC’s former Tenderloin district, which was chockablock with dance halls and brothels in the 1800s. The museum offers a tastefully presented collection of vintage girlie magazines, Victorian-era vibrators, blue movies and Real Dolls, plus rotating exhibits on prostitution, fetishism, homosexuality, masturbation and other semi-taboo topics.
