Cataloguing False Starts Since the Dawn of Time
Where: London, United Kingdom
It's true, there's a lack of decent sex museums in this world. Too much exhibition space is devoted to oversized elk, little-known Russian artists, and stolen Chinese artifacts. But Amora: The Academy of Sex and Relationships West End Theme Park, as well as having a clumsily long name, will put an end to this.
Filling up 10,000 square feet of space as part of the Trocadero redevelopment near Piccadilly Circus, the Academy--that sure makes it sound professional--describes its market niche as the "global need for better understanding of sex and relationship issues". Exhibition themes will include Sexual Performance Improvement, Aphrodisiacs, and Beauty, Romance and Sensuality.
According to the Director of Exhibits, Dr. Sarah Brewer,
This is not a sex museum like those in Amsterdam, Barcelona and Paris, which tend to veer towards pornography for commercial benefit alone.
Phew. We were worried that this musuem was going to be entertaining for a second there.
