What is the Sex Machines Museum?:

The Sex Machines Museum is a recently updated exposition of all things related to human sexuality. Not only are sex machines and appliances on display, but clothing, art, and film reels are featured in the 3 story building. This museum is a Prague novelty and can be an interesting way to pass a few hours on a rainy day.

What Kind of Sex Machines?:

In this Prague museum, you'll see sex machines that are precursors to our modern-day stimulators, chastity belts, iron corsets, and the like. Some are demonstrated by mannequins, others speak for themselves. The variety of appliances range from intriguing to disturbing, so be prepared to be surprised.

What Else Can I See at the Sex Machines Museum?:

Boudoir clothing, historical contraceptive devices, and even Spanish adult films from the 1920s are on display. The exhibitions have been collected from around the world and have supposedly been researched thoroughly, but this is not always apparent. The museum could be described as both entertaining and educational.
