With a name like “The Sex Lives of Animals,” you know right away that this isn’t your typical zoological museum exhibit. The Museum of Sex’s newest exhibit, with an advisory board stocked with professors, researchers, and other assorted PhDs, promises to be thought-provoking, controversial, and just plain awesome. So says the website:
In this “new natural history†the Museum of Sex is presenting an uncensored story of the natural world, moving animal sexuality beyond the confines of reproduction and mating, towards
discussions of orientation and cognition. By exploring the most intimate part of life, where it is often said we are most animal like, we can appreciate the significance of research on animal sexuality and, perhaps, extrapolate these concepts to larger issues regarding sexuality in general.
So go to New York and check it out. Maybe it’ll be a traveling exhibit? Think they’d allow that at the Field Museum? Next to the caveman dioramas?
Smooches,
Eden
