Yes, there's actually a Vagina Museum. Located in London's Camden Market, the Vagina Museum is the world’s first bricks and mortar museum dedicated to vaginas, vulvas, and gynecological anatomy. We have a vision of a world where no one is ashamed of their bodies, everyone has bodily autonomy, and all of humanity works together to build a society that is free and equal. This is our podcast. Spoiler alert, it's about vaginas.
In the first season of our podcast, you'll get six episodes that take you deep into the past and present of the vagina.
Ever hear of yoni steaming? We investigated its history. Like saying the word cunt? We’ve got a whole episode about it. Ever wondered if there were any transgender saints from the medieval ages? We’ve got the story. Merkins? Check. Placenta? Check. Desperate to know the real story of the vibrator’s invention? We’ve got you.

The Vagina Museum is Making a Podcast
Good news, World. The Vagina Museum is making a podcast. Treat your ears to this teaser from Vagina Museum founder Florence Schechter, and subscribe to this channel so you don't miss out on amazing vagina content when our first episode drops later this winter. Vagina Museum Website Twitter Facebook Instagram Donate EPISODE TRANSCRIPT: Hey there. My name is Florence Schechter, and I’m the founder of the Vagina Museum. Yes, you heard right, there’s a Vagina Museum. And I’m standing in front of it I’m busy Camden Market. The Vagina Museum is the world’s first bricks and mortar museum dedicated to vaginas, vulvas, and gynaecological anatomy. When I heard that there was a penis museum in Iceland, but no vagina museum anywhere, I was pretty miffed...or muffed, you might say. So in 2017 I started a project to create one. And now, the Vagina Museum team is making history by opening our first premises in London’s Camden Market this November. If you’re in the neighborhood, make sure to grab tickets for our opening party or one of our pre-launch workshops or lectures. What’s the Vagina Museum all about? We have a vision of a world where no one is ashamed of their bodies, everyone has bodily autonomy, and all of humanity works together to build a society that is free and equal. We want to spread knowledge and give people the confidence to talk about issues surrounding their gynecological anatomy and health; erase stigma; and act as a forum for feminism, women’s rights, the LGBT+ community and intersex people. Also on the agenda is challenging heteronormative and cisnormative behavior and promoting intersectional, feminist, and trans-inclusive values. If that all sounds good to you, then hit subscribe because the first season of our podcast is going to feature six episodes that will take you deep into the past and present of the vagina. Ever hear of yoni steaming? We investigated its history. Like saying the word cunt? We’ve got a whole episode about it. Ever wondered if there were any transgender saints from the medieval ages? We’ve got the story. Merkins? Check. Placenta? Check. Desperate to know the real story of the vibrator’s invention? We’ve got you.
