Discover the history and thrill of human desire at NYC's Museum Of Sex. A sex-positive, LGBTQ+ inclusive highlight on our global gay map.
Stepping into the Museum Of Sex in New York City is an essential experience for any sex-positive traveler navigating the global gay map. Located in the heart of Manhattan, this provocative institution—affectionately known as MoSex—is much more than a tourist attraction; it is a scholarly and celebratory deep dive into the evolution of human desire. For gay men and the wider LGBTQ+ community, the museum offers a refreshing, non-judgmental space that frequently spotlights queer history, from the underground culture of historic bathhouses to the boundary-pushing work of trans artists. The museum’s multi-floor layout balances academic rigor with immersive play. You can explore rotating exhibitions like 'Utopia,' which examines sexuality within American cults and communes, or delve into permanent archives featuring over 20,000 artifacts that document the long road to sexual liberation. No visit is complete without a trip to 'Super Funland,' a four-story erotic carnival featuring interactive games and the infamous 'Jump for Joy' inflatable installation. After working up an appetite for adventure, head to Lola’s—the museum's sleek bar—for a craft cocktail. Whether you are a local or a queer traveler looking for the most unique spots in New York City, the Museum Of Sex provides a welcoming and intellectually stimulating environment that celebrates the beauty of every identity.
