City-Log: 1001 Nights in Manhattan
NYC Sex: How New York City Transformed Sex in America
The museum's inaugural exhibit charts the histories of prostitution, "white slavery," birth control, fetish, sexual freedom, obscenity laws and more (opening Sept. 23, 2002).
Delving into the histories of prostitution, burlesque, birth control, obscenity, fetish and more, the inaugural exhibition of The Museum of Sex, NYC Sex, includes never-before exhibited selections from public and private collections, including materials once confiscated and classified as obscene. These primary sources of social history -- letters, photographs, films and newspapers -- reveal how it has been possible in New York, more than in any other American city, to form communities around sex and sexuality.
