British Museum R-Rated Exhibit
Friday May 12, 2006
When I visited the British Museum, I spent hours with the Greek and Roman collections looking closely at the household objects. Thus, I recognize the description of some of the objects the UK Guardian describes as belonging to an exhibit entitled
Sex and Society in Ancient Greece and Rome, and especially the following:
- "If any visitor managed an impassive museum-visiting face, it must have dissolved at the sight of the Roman wind chime, a flying phallus, complete with wings, its own phallus and a phallic tail, hung with a row of little bells."
