Frommer's Review
How many cities can claim their own Museum of Sex? Not many in the U.S., that's for sure! This one, despite its provocative title, offers a studied, historical look at the history of sex in our culture. In 2008, the exhibit "Action: Sex and the Moving Image" and "Sex in Design" were featured. Note: Many of the displays are very graphic, so the museum may not be for everyone.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
