About Museum Erotica in Copenhagen:
Copenhagen's Museum Erotica opened in May 1994 and has attracted a million guests of all ages. This erotic exhibition has been highly popular among women, too. 50 per cent of visitors are female. The sex-wave started in Denmark with the legalization of pornography in the late 1960s. Incidentally, Denmark today is one of the top destinations for nudists (see Nudism in Denmark).
What Museum Erotica Offers:
This sex museum offers a very popular selection of art without inhibitions. In the center of Copenhagen, view erotic paintings, sculptures, take a look at French postcards, photos, risqué magazines, films and even sex toys! For many visitors, learning more about the sex-lives of famous people (e.g. Onassis) is a big attraction as well.

Younger folks are offered sex education and information in a very tasteful manner.

Location & Opening Hours of Museum Erotica:
Museum Erotica at Købmagergade 24 is easy to find. It is just off of Strøget, Copenhagen's popular pedestrian shopping street. This sex museum is open daily May 1 - September 30 from 10 am to 11 pm and October 1 - April 1 from 11 am to 8 pm. Admission is 59.-- Danish Kroner.
