That it’s definitely worth it if your 18 and over eighteen and it definitely worth the money and price and definitely worth looking around

This a small, walk around museum with lots of things to see and read! It’s very interesting and there is an audio guide as you walk around! Slightly overpriced for what it was but would recommend.

Definitely an experience that was both informative and an eye opener. Whilst not the longest visit, the price was adequate. It was quite busy when we went at our allotted time which hindered the experience a bit as it’s a small space which is fine but the amount of people made it congested so that you couldn’t read or see the information at times. Overall all though we enjoyed it.

Very informative and well-done. I had low expectations but I learned more than I expected and it was not as "cheesy" as I had expected. It definitely dispelled some of the common stereotypes and misconceptions.

Such an interesting insight to the life of a sex worker. It’s in the heart of the red light district and I’d definitely worth a visit.

We visited and there were just too many people, so we had to move through at a snail’s pace. The flow is quite controlled, so if someone ahead of you wants to study an exhibit at length, you’re basically stuck until they’re ready to move on. The exhibits were interesting, although a bit disjointed. If you’re able to visit on a day when they’re not as busy, it might be worth it.

From the other reviews I was expecting something different and to be educated and change my perspective. The museum felt a little seedy and I felt bad bringing my teenage daughters there. It was not eye-opening or enlightening about prostitution but was basically what I expected. One of my daughters said, “That place should come with a trigger warning”.

This is once in a lifetime experience. It is a tiny museum but packs a punch. Audio guide, interactive museum. You come out having respect for the profession. It is an eye opener and very educational. It’s hot in there in the summer, they have fans but not enough with the crowd cramped in such a tiny place. So many rooms so better to install air-conditioning or keep all the windows open as it gets stuffy and hot in there. But worth the money. Check it out, it will be a life time experience and the notes on the wall will definitely move you!!

It was interactive and informative. You learn about the history of prostitution by using a free audio guide. In the guide, you listen to a prostitute telling her own story through the different rooms. The museum also raises awareness for violence against sex workers.
