When we posted this a couple of weeks ago, we had some AI enthusiasts insist that this diagram was the result of poor prompting, or that the prompt that the original poster made was to generate a funny, bad diagram. So we decided to test ChatGPT's capability...

Here's the most cursed recent addition to our collection: a bottle of Lysol disinfectant, circa early 1960s, from Canada. The label contains instructions for using the product to clean toilets, floors, dirty diapers... and vaginal douching.

Your occasional reminder that "vulva" and "helicopter" share the same etymology (from Proto Indo-European "wel-", meaning "to go around"). So why not spend your Tuesday figuring out how to do the helicopter with your vulva?

There's a tube strike this week, so don't use the tube to visit the Vagina Museum. We're accessible by bus, overground, and bike. Find out how you can get here www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/visit

Today in AI Is Not A Good Source For Learning About The World's Most Misunderstood Body Part, meet this ChatGPT gem. Funnily enough, we're actually going to talk about how most of this is kinda sorta right (for small values of right), as a cautionary tale about generative AI.

Here's another part of the gynaecological anatomy named after a man: Kobelt's plexus, illustrated by Kobelt himself in around 1844. The plexus is the network of blood vessels under the bend of the clitoral body.

The legs-up-in-stirrups position sometimes used in birth or gynaecological procedures is called the lithotomy position. Etymology fans among you might note that this derives from the Greek for "stone cut". Let's explain why...

Since we posted this thread about elephant shrew vaginas (or their lack thereof) we've had a couple of questions and are delighted to share some further resources to answer you...

Today in Weird Animal Fannies, let's introduce you to the elephant shrew, a little creature which is neither an elephant nor a shrew, and have a couple of unusual quirks with their set-up...

Tomorrow at the Vagina Museum, we have TWO fanny-tastic events for you. We're rounding of South Asian Heritage Month with a Henna and Healing workshop led by Cysters, and in the evening, raise your glass for Pussy Pairing! www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/events/event...

This is the definition of "uterus" as appears at the top of a Google search when you're looking to find the meaning of the word. ...and it contains a MAJOR factual inaccuracy. Let's explain exactly what is so wrong here.

Since the timeline is full of discourse about AI, let's revisit what AI rat willies can tell us about vaginas in science and medicine masto.ai/@vagina_muse...

Pussy Grabs Back! We launched this collection back in 2019, when we first opened our doors to the world. It was incredibly popular. It remains incredibly popular today, for some reason vaginamuseumshop.co.uk/collections/...

Today, we'd like to show you what is probably the most deadly object in our collection: a tampon. Specifically, a Rely brand tampon, on sale between 1975 and 1980 in the USA.

I also want to hear from the @vaginamuseum.bsky.social visitors!! I haven’t had the pleasure yet, though I can weigh in on NYC’s Sex Museum

Let's tackle a myth. Is the clitoris an "underdeveloped penis"? Absolutely not!!!!! It's a different organ entirely, and it reveals patriarchal bias to call it "underdeveloped".

Postie's delivered the zine I'd ordered from @vaginamuseum.bsky.social & it looks fantastic. Sender address label - I suppose I hadn't thought about it before but let's just say it's not as discreet as Ann Summers - & why should it be? Now wondering why it's easier for me to say cunt than vagina 🤔

We haven't shown you a weird old-timey patent for a while. So here's something patented by Charles E. Clark in 1859. Can you guess what it's supposed to do?

On this day in 1641, Regnier de Graaf was born. This Dutch anatomist is the namesake of Graafian follicles, aggregates of cells in the ovaries which include an egg cell. De Graaf is one of the nine men after whom a part of the gynaecological anatomy is named (none are named after women).

Today in the UK, the Online Safety Act (2023) came into force. This means that social media companies are required to undertake age verification for users in the UK to see "adult content". And who decides what is and is not "adult content"? The social media companies themselves.

Let's try that again, since our last attempt at making this post got flagged... Immunocompromised? Covid conscious? Friday mornings are masked mornings here at the Vagina Museum. Admission, as always, is free www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/accessmornings

Biology fact: fertile XY female mammals have evolved at least five times, independently. Here's how it works for them...

Like every museum, we have an archive box which we simply *hate* opening and are honestly a little scared of. What makes our most cursed box special is when we simply have to open it, everyone in the building knows all about it because it smells so strong...

Brand new vag swag in our shop: three fanny-tastic poster designs! vaginamuseumshop.co.uk/collections/...

New exhibition! Trans Ephemera: mixed media installation by trans creatives, usingthings which are usually thrown away to invite you into a community. Trans is not a monolith. There is no one way to be trans, and all trans lives and journeys are different. www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/communitygal...

Flag pins are back in stock! It's been about three years since we last had rainbow and trans flag vulva pins in our shop, and by popular request, they're back! Get your hands on one of these now, before they're gone again! vaginamuseumshop.co.uk/collections/...

From our collection: Cuscoe [sic] speculum, size virgin, packaged September 2023. "Virgin" is a size category sometimes given to vaginal speculums in the smallest size. This has understandably drawn controversy and campaigning.

Got a sweaty vulva from the heatwave? That's normal! You're not some frightful little moist goblin. Vulvas get sweaty, too. Here's some things you can do (and some things you absolutely shouldn't do) to make it feel less swampy down there.

Who would win? The United States or a parcel full of contraceptives? We can actually answer this question because it was tested in court in 1936. This is the story of United States v. One Package Of Japanese Pessaries...
