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.
