Bayliss reviews MoSex exhibition
Sarah Bayliss reviews the inaugural exhibition at New York's Museum of Sex. "Those who pay the museum's steep $17 admission fee looking for lowbrow kicks will be disappointed, as much of what's on view is devoid of exposed flesh. The displays also have an oddly static feel, perhaps because they are small, often with reproduced images. Observing 1950s photos of well-oiled beefcakes, grainy stag films, or posters of melon-breasted Vargas girls among mute museumgoers is a decidedly unerotic experience. There's a reason why some of this stuff is usually viewed in private."
