Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://www.vaginamuseum.co.uk:
There was a penis museum in Iceland. Which is pretty cool. But there was no vagina equivalent anywhere in the world. We were pretty miffed (muffed?) when we learnt this but we thought, there's only one way to rectify this. Make one.
The project was launched in 2017 and started with pop ups around the country including exhibitions and events. We did pop ups in all kinds of places from Green Man Festival to the Royal Institution to the Feminist Library to the Freud Museum.
We opened our first premises in Camden Market in 2019, our second in Bethnal Green in 2022, with a view to start work on our permanent premises within the next few years.
