The world\u2019s first museum dedicated entirely to vaginas is set to open in the United Kingdom (UK). \u00a0<\/p>\n

The London-based Vagina Museum will open its doors for the first time
\n on November 16 following a \u00a350,000 crowdfunding campaign. The museum
\naims to educate and raise awareness of vaginal and vulval health and
\nfight stigmas. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Its founder describes it as \u201cthe world\u2019s first bricks and mortar
\nmuseum dedicated to gynaecological anatomy.\u201d The museum will feature art
\n exhibitions, plays, workshops and comedy nights all centred around
\nvaginas. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Director Florence Schechter decided to set it up in 2017 after
\ndiscovering Iceland\u2019s Phallological Museum, which houses the world\u2019s
\nlargest display of penises, had no equivalent for vulvas and vaginas. \u00a0<\/p>\n

She said the aim of the museum is to \u201cerase the stigma around the
\nbody and gynaecological anatomy\u201d for everyone, regardless of their race,
\n sex or gender. She said the museum, which is in essence a cultural
\ncentre, will run child-friendly programmes for families and schools.<\/p>\n

It will also offer an outreach programme to ensure children feel comfortable talking about female genitals from an early age.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they\u2019re ashamed of their bodies, it becomes really difficult for them to talk about things,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s about de-stigmatising this part of the body and being honest about what it does.\u201d<\/p>\n
