| - My wife bought a groupon for the Erotic Heritage Museum when we were visiting Las Vegas last month. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a fun and interesting thing to do while on our vacation.
The museum is pretty easy to find, and is on 'strip club row', right next to Deja Vu. We were greeted by a friendly woman at the front as we entered. She gave us a quick run down of the museum and the rules. Apparently my attention was wondering, because my wife informed me that I was violating a couple of the rules while walking through the museum (No pictures on the second floor! ;).
The place was REALLY quiet. Between the two floors, there was only one other couple. There were lots of cool artifacts, trinkets and pictures. Many of them from various places around the world. The items gave a small glimpse into the history of sex, and it was neat to read about their origins. It was not only very interesting to learn about the history, but also to learn about how other cultures have viewed sex and sexuality over time.
There were also several videos playing throughout the museum that encompassed a large chunk of the 20th century. The early videos were especially intriguing, and allowed me to see how society's views of sexuality has changed. It was also very interesting to see the various technologies associated with eroticism over the years, and how they have evolved. It was an unexpectedly nerdy and cool experience wrapped up into one.
I really enjoyed my visit to the Erotic Heritage Museum. It was nice to do something out of the ordinary while visiting Las Vegas, and this was a pleasant surprise.
