It hasn’t even been a year and there is already talk of a re-release of Avatar. With the hope of luring all the people who fell in love with it back to the theaters with six minutes of unseen footage, and hoping to lure new people in who just want to see it in theaters for the first time instead of watching it at home.

Though it might sound seedy and like a cheap thrill The Museum of Sex in New York isn’t either of those, though it will likely have some exhibits on that aspect of sex through history. The truth is this museum is a thought provoking archive of not just history but artistic expression. This museum has gained in notoriety by being featured in various publications and media outlets from The New York Times to mention on popular television shows like NBC’s Law & Order Criminal Intent and IFC documentaries.
Located in what was once the “tenderloin” district of Manhattan, a district of NYC made notorious through the 1800′s and early 1900′s of the city for its bordellos, dance halls, theaters and saloons. The Museum of Sex only recently opened in 2002 and opening the way for more of its nature. It’s featured award winning exhibitions and a gallery of over 15,000 artifacts. Its exhibition “NYCSEX: How New York Transformed Sex in America” was award winning and brought together historians and leading scholars to act as advisers. Since then it has hosted 16 exhibitions and 5 virtual installations on the history, technological advancement, and artistic aspects of sexuality.
The Spotlight Gallery of the museum allows visitors to customize their experience and freely wander to exhibits that pique their particular interest. Preserving and cataloging an ever growing collection of memorabilia and sex-related objects that would normally be destroyed for their content the museum now houses over 15000 artifacts ranging from all kinds of technological inventions and historical ephemera to the expected works of art and photography. There is even a multimedia library with an extensive collection of DVD, VHS, 8mm, Super 8mm, 16mm films ranging from historical to modern.
Though probably not for everyone, it’s not something to miss if you happen to be having a stay in New York City and are interested in the topic or even just a little curious. Definitely go if you’re looking forward to a thought provoking look at sexuality or to maybe learn something new. The Museum of Sex has collaborated with the New-York Historical Society, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and New York University’s Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality and has numerous Ph.D advisers to insure that while your experience may be titillating it will also be educational.

If you have a book published, and it is about to be made into an e-book, you may want to double check your contract, because your publisher may be trying to keep you from your rightfully earned money.
