Russia’s first sex museum has proved to a huge hit with the citizens of Moscow since its opening last month.
There were fears as to how the public would react to the opening of Tockha G, as Russians have always been stereotypically reserved when it comes to the celebration of erotica.
However, owner Alexander Donskoy has claimed that the museum has been greatly received with the amount of tickets sold averaging over 400 a day.
A review of the museum by The Moscow News revealed that it contained more than 3,000 exhibits from around the world including a painting of Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin duelling with phalluses.
One section of the exhibition is dedicated to the evolution of sex toys whilst a documentary exploring a history of sex in the USSR has also proved popular.
Speaking to The Vancouver Sun, Donskoy exclaimed his pride at giving his hometown the opportunity to learn more about sex via his collection of erotic paintings, sculptures and merchandise.
He said: “Now, we can proudly say we have sex in Russia. Many people still want and need to be instructed about it.
“What we still don’t have is freedom and I hope that my museum here will help young people to feel freer as life in general is all about freedom, freedom of conscience, freedom of expression, freedom of choice.”
