SEX NOW

5.9.2025 - 3.5.2026

Sex can be beautiful, exciting, provocative and political. With the exhibition ‘SEX NOW’, we invite the visitors to rediscover sexuality in all its complexity. A central starting point of the exhibition is the observation that the sex industry has changed in recent years from a predominantly male-dominated industry to a more female-dominated industry.

From latex fashion, furniture design, queer photography, media art and Japanese woodcuts to dolls, machines and toys: In eleven themed rooms, the exhibition stages an intimate, critical and creative dialogue about sexuality and society, telling of erotic fantasies and new realities.
