LONDON: Reykjavik has its penis museum and from this weekend, London will have a vagina museum – a place to tackle taboos and learn a little bit more about women’s bodies. In the heart of Camden, a tourist centre and hub of alternative culture in the north of the British capital, the sign for the “Vagina Museum” on an old barn door attracts a few curious glances. “I found out there was a penis museum and no vagina equivalent, so I made it,” said founder Florence Schechter, a science communicator. Far from being a cabinet of curiosities, the little museum intends to be instructive, with its first goal to expose myths around the vagina. Some local residents are worried about the licence the museum has to sell alcohol, fearing drunken groups of young people attending.
