Lonely Planet review

Falling somewhere between titillation, tawdriness and art, this private collection is devoted to sex through the ages. The décor is pseudo-seedy, and the diverse exhibits range from exquisite Kamasutra illustrations and Mapplethorpe photos to early porn movies, S&M apparatus and a 2m wooden penis.

For those red-faced about entering such a scurrilous place, there really is lots of historical material, such as Indian bas-reliefs showing various aspects of tantric love, 18th-century wood carvings depicting Kama Sutra positions (can normal people really engage in all these gymnastics?), Japanese porcelain porn and the like.
