Vagina Museum

Museum in London dedicated to vaginas and vulvas

Vagina Museum Logo

The Vagina Museum is a museum in London, United Kingdom, dedicated to the vagina, vulva, and the surrounding anatomy. It is the world's first bricks-and-mortar museum dedicated to the female reproductive system. The museum aims to educate and inform the public about the anatomy, health, and cultural significance of the vagina and vulva, while also challenging societal taboos and stigma surrounding these topics.

History

The Vagina Museum was founded by Florence Schechter in 2017. The idea was inspired by the lack of a physical museum dedicated to the vagina, despite the existence of a Phallological Museum in Iceland. Schechter began by organizing pop-up events and exhibitions to gauge public interest and support for a permanent museum.

In 2019, the Vagina Museum opened its first physical location in Camden Market, London. The museum's inaugural exhibition, "Muff Busters: Vagina Myths and How To Fight Them," aimed to dispel common myths and misconceptions about the vagina and vulva.
