Museum of Sex

The Museum of Sex is dedicated to the exploration of the history, evolution and cultural significance of human sexuality. We strive to give reason to emotion and understanding to our impulses.

This is not a place for the expected: we are a kunsthalle, a cabinet of curiosities, a collection of the rare, repulsive, delicious, old, new, high, low, good and bad that serves as a barometer of contemporary culture. We encourage the simultaneous occupation of the city, the marketplace and the mind by presenting work that mines the fringes of society and exposes our unique behaviors through the lens of the most fundamental human activity: sex. This is more than a museum: We are an institution that believes in embracing society and existing beyond its walls. We promote organic growth and foster an entrepreneurial spirit that values original ideas. To do this, we seek the engagement and collaboration of fearless visionaries from all industries who challenge, stimulate and disrupt the status quo. Together we develop innovative events, exhibits, products and experiences that bring the best of current scholarship on sex and sexuality to the widest possible audiences.

"Laia Abril’s careful global exploration of the past and present of contraception and abortion re-frames the issue, showing us that abortion is, first and foremost, not a political currency but a vivid lived experience for women around the world and throughout history. Abril’s work looks at the long struggle to obtain rights to family planning for women and demonstrates the complicated decisions women make when choosing to end a pregnancy, with their very health and survival on the line."

– Lissa Rivera, Curator @museumofsex

“Under “natural” circumstances, the average woman would get pregnant about 15 times in her life, resulting in ten births. Seven of those babies would survive childhood. For centuries, people have searched for ways to delay or terminate pregnancy. Today, safe and efficient means of abortion finally exist, yet women around the world continue to use ancient, illegal or risky home methods: Every year, 47,000 women around the world die due to botched abortions. Across countries and religions, millions of women are blocked from abortion technologies by law and social coercion and are forced to carry pregnancies to term against their will. Some are minors and rape victims. In violation of patient confidentiality codes, doctors and healthcare providers have been known to report women seeking illegal abortions, even when abortion is medically necessary to save the patient’s life.”

“Abortion is a word. Abortion is an experience shared by millions of women around the world. Abortion, when legal and safe, can liberate a woman from the crisis of unintended motherhood. Abortion, when driven by misogyny and religious extremism into the back alley, can destroy a woman’s ability ever to become a mother – or even end her life. Here in the United States, where botched illegal abortions once killed an estimated 10,000 women a year and left many thousands of others sterile, public policy is now hurtling backward to drive clinics out of business and place abortion out of reach for those who most need access to it. Instead of stigma and silence, we need to raise our voices and lift our sights, as this fascinating exhibit by a brilliant young artist inspires us to do. Abortion is a word. It is also a right we must fight for.”

Here is a film clip from our current #Punklust #exhibit. From May 31 to June 4 In conjunction with the Museum of Sex’s exhibition “Punk Lust: Raw Provocation, 1971-1985,” Anthology Film Archives will host a film program that expands on the exhibition by surveying how Punk culture used the language of sexuality – both visually and lyrically – to transgress and defy, whether in the service of political provocation, raw desire, or simply to break through the stifling gender norms and social expectations of its time. @anthologyfilmarchives http://bit.ly/30eqbHK
