Excellent insight into what goes on in the red light industry and shows how well run it actually is!! Was not sure what to expect had a fantastic experience well worth the visit. We went early so wasn’t too busy.

Insightful and thought provoking, with some interesting facts and information about sex work in Amsterdam. Probably need less than an hour at the museum.

This was actually really fun and informative tour. Had a lot of insight to sex workers and their daily life. A lot of fun commentary, and a delightful confession booth for other visitors sexual fantasies/deeds/mess-ups. It is nice to see just that people are people, and the wildest thing you think you may like is just another day in the life for someone else. There is something freeing in that.

This museum was smaller than I expected but is packed full of interesting information to read. The audio guide is very helpful and there are some interactive bits, you can take your photo sat in a red lighted window which was a laugh. It was interesting to learn about the history and current rules around prostitution in Amsterdam today

This place is degrading spot for women. It shouldn’t be there in the 21st century. The display of women behind glass offering them as merchandise is not acceptable. It’s a scene from a disgraceful past that should be stopped immediately.

The actual museum is very interesting, be sure to read all the plaques and information around would be our advice! We spent about 45 minutes throughout, which was longer than most. The stories from Inga are interesting and humorous in places. As others have said, it is very cramped. The company would be better to stick to allotted times so that there isn’t too many people. We did come earlier than our time slot but again if we had to stick to our allocated time, perhaps our experience would’ve improved from less people. It was difficult as well because there is a narrow corridor with all sorts of information on the walls, which is not wide enough for two people, but when multiple people want to read the info, it becomes difficult! But regardless, it was very interesting and worth doing.
