Winner of the 29th annual Lambda Literary Award for LGBT StudiesAll museums are sex museums. In Sex Museums, Jennifer Tyburczy takes a hard look at the formation of Western sexualityparticularly how categories of sexual normalcy and perversity are formedand asks what role museums have played in using display as a technique for disciplining sexuality. Most museum exhibits, she argues, assume that white, patriarchal heterosexuality and traditional structures of intimacy, gender, and race represent national sexual culture for their visitors. Sex Museums illuminates the history of such heteronormativity at most museums and proposes alternative approaches for the future of public display projects, while also offering the reader curatorial tacticswhat she calls queer curatorshipfor exhibiting diverse sexualities in the twentyfirst century.Tyburczy shows museums to be sites of culturewar theatrics, where dramatic civic struggles over how sex relates to public space, genealogies of taste and beauty, and performances of sexual identity are staged. Delving into the history of erotic artifacts, she analyzes how museums have historically approached the collection and display of the material culture of sex, which poses complex moral, political, and logistical dilemmas for the Western museum. Sex Museums unpacks the history of the museum and its intersections with the history of sexuality to argue that the Western museum contextfrom its inception to the presentmarks a pivotal site in the construction of modern sexual subjectivity.

I had high hopes for this book, but it didn't meet them. The writing style was a bit dry, and I was hoping for more vivid examples of displays. It felt more academic than I anticipated. Disappointed.

Thought-Provoking but Dense
The content is absolutely fascinating and makes you think about how sex is displayed in society. However, I found some sections a bit dense and hard to get through. It’s definitely not a light read, but worth the effort for the insights it offers.
