NileGuide Expert tip:
If you're curious to see the inside of a Red Light District window, but feel silly gawking at the women in the windows, this museum is for you.
Description:
As its name suggests, this museum presents an allegedly artistic vision of eroticism; it focuses on prints and drawings, including some by John Lennon. There's a replica of a Red Light District alley, and an extensively equipped S&M playroom, both of which are rather antiseptic and serious. The only humorous note is an X-rated cartoon depicting some of the things Snow White apparently got up to with the Seven Dwarfs that Walt never told us about. Considering all this, it's ironic that the legend on the building's 1685 gable stone reads: God is myn burgh (God is my citadel).
