Museum of Sex

Something fun and frisky is hiding in plain sight in residential Allapattah. The Museum of Sex, which opened somewhat quietly during Miami Art Week 2024, is part historical archive, part R-rated amusement park where adults can immerse themselves in all kinds of provocative experiences.

The journey begins with “Modern Sex: 100 Years of Design and Decency,” a fascinating look back at the last century through old porn magazines, sex-ed pamphlets, and a collection of vintage vibrators that really need to be seen in person. From there, “Hajime Sorayama: Desire Machines” showcases the Japanese artist’s erotic illustrations and robot pin-ups—sleek, surreal, and blurring the lines between metal and flesh, fantasy and reality.

But the real showstopper? “Super Funland: Journey Into the Erotic Carnival”—a permanent exhibition filled with NSFW, amusement park-style games. Without spoiling too much: there’s a stripper simulation for your pole-dancing ambitions, a sexy mermaid show, a booby bounce house, and a spinning saucer ride where the last one to get tea-bagged wins. It’s playful, raunchy, and sneakily insightful, offering a look at how sexuality has been represented across eras and cultures.

There’s also a bar serving campy cocktails for when you need a break between romps, and a gift shop stocked with all the saucy souvenirs you didn’t know you needed.
