"Reading, viewing, Skin, porn, reading, molded arm-length members, and more reading "
Maybe it was our stop in at the Artisan for a quick cocktail that made us feel warm & fuzzy, but we liked this place and had a great time.
Admission was very reasonable & all staff was very locals friendly. Don't expect it be a 'club' atmosphere, it's not. It truly is laid out like a gallery/museum, but not too high brow like some. We recently went to Symbolic on Industrial and found that to be a GREAT pop art gallery focused on 60s Rock culture & art. This has a similar feel in terms of fun subject matter - hello, 'Erotic' is in the title...but this museum is much larger and there is more to read.
We went late afternoon on a Saturday. A couple other folks mingling around, but we were the only ones in the museum when we left - tempting for a Low life, but this is a museum. Plenty of places to sit and take in some of the more interesting exhibits. Great little areas that look like a mix of someone's den or a hip TV coffee house with a twist. Casual, friendly, environment.
Be willing to read some, and be pleasantly surprised. Some displays Low Life’s have seen, some you haven't. Some you will giggle over, some you will say, 'I did not know that'....Influential people in erotica/pornographic history, the small actual movie theater upstairs, 'Are you normal' test, vintage peep show booths, flicks, modern famous porn star biographies, etc, etc. Don't want to give too much away, but we loved the Chandelier!
As an added bonus, the Curator is a Hottie, and extremely knowledgeable.
Get on the mailing list if you go, the opening promises to be fun with Sexologist, People in the know, a scattering of nerds and some horny people milling around erotica.
