BUY TICKETS >What is Red Light Secrets?
's Werelds eerste prostitutiemuseum, ook wel bekend als "Red Light Secrets Museum", opende hun deuren in december 2013. Direct op de beroemdste straat van de Amsterdamse Wallen en tegenover Cafe The Old Sailor.
The Museum of Prostitution fills a gap by showing visitors what raambordelen in Amsterdam looks like from the inside and answering basic questions about the industry.
There are photo opportunities aplenty. For example; it offers two red illuminated windows with two stools behind it allowing visitors to sit in the windows themselves. Get yourself photographed while people on the streets are looking at you.

Red Light District Museum
Amsterdam is famously open-minded when it come to prostitution. But since 2008 a bit of a tussle has ensued as the City of Amsterdam embarks on a plan to reduce to number of windows brothels.
Also, the local government wanted to have more variety in the area. The city says organized crime has entered the scene and must be stopped; many opponents say the city simply doesn’t like its reputation for sin. The result: many spaces in Amsterdam’s Red Light Districts are being converted to galleries, museums, shops, cafes and whatnot. This Museum of Prostitution is also part this plan, locally known as “project 1012” – dat is de postcode van het Wallen gebied.
Vroeger stonden hier enkele echte raambordelen maar sinds 2013 is deze vervangen door het Red Light Secrets Museum. Meeste sekswerkers op de Wallen zijn hier niet zo'n fan van, want voor hen betekent dit minder mogelijkheden om een raambordeel te huren. Ook zijn de prijzen van de raambordelen de laatste jaren flink gestegen door de afname van peeskamers.

What an eye-opening read! I had no idea about the rich history and the stories behind the lives of those who worked in the Red Light District. The museum sounds like a fascinating place to gain a deeper understanding of this aspect of Amsterdam’s culture. Definitely adding this to my itinerary!
