At the Las Vegas Erotic Museum you can see exhibits with historical artefacts, paintings, sculptures, among other expressions. All of them focused on human sexuality. Also, if you wish, you can participate in a yoga class, naked bike competitions and other activities programmed by the museum from time to time.
