about

Known as the world's oldest sex museum, Venustempel sits on Amsterdam's bustling Damrak near Central Station. Since 1985, it has welcomed visitors into its collection of erotic art, photographs, and artifacts dating back to Roman times. The museum's accessible pricing and central location make it one of Amsterdam's most visited attractions, offering a playful yet informative exploration of human sexuality across cultures and eras.

Had a great time, lots of laughter and 'education' haha would definitely suggest to go, was €10 each to enter.

The museum does have several interesting historical artifacts and art, although I wish that there was overall more information available about them. There were some surprising finds - eg a necklace co-designed by Alphonse Mucha necklace on display in the bathroom. There was a good deal of interesting (implied ancient?) sculpture with no provided information, which was a shame. The information that was provided was often incomplete or worded in a way that seemed like the author was guessing (e.g. this was probably made by so-and-so). On a whole, this museum seems to be more set up for laughs than information, with timed animatronics and crude jump scares that play recorded sleazy laughter. It had more contents than I expected (~4 floors). It's alright for 10€ if you have less than an hour to kill.

The Museum was a good mix of funny and interesting from art pieces to robots. It was definitely worth a visit! While it does have descriptions with the individual pieces we overall wished to take home a bit more info, as we found the place to be more of a fun facts type of museum instead of a historical oriented one.


It was an interesting experience, but i was expecting a bit more. Taking into account that the ticket was only 10 euros it was worth it. I do not recommend buying tickets online cuz u still have to wait in the queue with people that didn’t buy in advance.
