On Tuesday I went to Museum of Sex with a classmate of mine in my block. As a museum with such a unique and interesting name in one of the most diverse and popular tourist regions on earth, it is no wonder almost everyone has heard of it before. Although people have heard about the museum and even tried, there is a required age for admission of 18 years or above. My whole life, I have been “a bit too young” to get admitted to the museum, but now the perfect opportunity has risen. I need to go to a museum for a school assignment and I get to enter the once forbidden museum. Now that me and my friend, Ben, are of age, we decided to buy tickets to enter.
First things first, we had to get there. The walk from Baruch College to the Museum of Sex is actually a leisure stroll through the bustling streets of Gramercy and Flatiron. On our way there, we came across a military tank which was said to have been in the same spot for months. We also came across these 2 vans with a ton of packages from sephora, Amazon, and urban outfitters. The packages were all over the sidewalk, probably put there by the workers, but they could have so easily been snatched and stolen. It’s a surprise nothing happened and the workers were able to complete their job without any situations arising. As we walked up to the building, I was a bit dissapointed to be honest. It looked like any other normal building/store front except with the sign saying “Museum of Sex”.
After entering the building, we were asked to present ID, which I held out like they didn’t believe I was 18 HAH that’s disrespectful! After purchasing our tickets and entering for the first time, I just looked and absorbed everything around me in awe. I don’t want to get into too much detail, but it was a fun experience and I would actually do it again with different groups of people because the experience is different whenever you’re with a different person/group of people. Following this post is a photo of one of the more modest photos that I had took at the museum.
