About

Unravel the secrets of Amsterdam's Red Light District

Amsterdam is one of the few places where prostitution is legal. The Red Light area attracts many curious tourists that want to see the naughty side of the city. But, what actually happens behind the windows? How does this business work? Discover the secrets right at the heart of the Red Light District, at Red Light Secrets. Hear stories from former prostitutes and take a look inside their workrooms.

What is inside the museum of Prostitution?

The first room shows you what 'de Wallen' are like, the Dutch name for the Red Light District. Because this area, is where it happens. Girls working behind the windows, men looking for fun and tourists exploring the small streets. Continue to discover how the rules of the municipality aim to protect the sex workers. Find out what goes into registering and renting a window. Visit the workrooms, from standard, to luxurious to the kinky rooms.

Take a seat! Red Light Secrets is the only place where you can sit behind the window, without renting a workroom. Red Light Secrets is also the only place where you can take pictures of people behind the window. Do not take pictures of the workers in the Red Light area. This is invasive. But at this museum, you can sit behind the windows and ask your friends to take a picture of you from outside! What is more Amsterdam than this?

Red Light Secrets aims to educate the public about the profession in a light-hearted, informative way. The goal is to remove the taboo and negativity generally associated with the topic. Add this museum to your Explore Pass itinerary and uncover Amsterdams secrets!

Intresssnt

Trevlig kille i biljettluckan, fick en rejäl familjerabatt👍 Intressant att se insidan av en bordell och höra en prostituerad berätta historier. Och få reda på lite "hemligheter", en hemlighet man får reda på är tex varför det är just rött ljus i fönsterna. Bilden man får i slutet av museet blir ett bra minne från Amsterdam. Tyckte besöket på prostitutionsmuseet var bra, ganska sorligt dock, man känner att man är lyckligt lottad här i livet

Värt ett besök

Skrämmande och intressant museum. Man får en annan syn när man går och lyssnar på historier av en kvinna om varför de gör det dom gör och hur allt går tillväga. Museumet är en gammal bordell där en kvinna blev mördad.

Informativt litet museum

Ett litet men informativt museum som visar lite av vardagen för prostituerade i Amsterdam. Väl värt ett besök! Rundturen gör man på egen hand och det tar ca 30-40 minuter.

Intressant och värt ett besök!

Museumet ligger mitt i Red Light District och är definitivt värt ett besök! Ger ett ärligt och informativt intryck av prostitutionen i Holland, på gott och ont och en ordentlig tankeställare i vardagen för dessa kvinnor som jobbar i Red Light.

Fascinating insight into Red Light District of Amsterdam

I really enjoyed, and learned a lot, from the Red Light Museum. The museum is in the building of a former Red Light District building, including the famous windows, and that gives visitors a direct insight into what working in the red light district would be like. You learn about the history of the district, the requirements to work there, what life is like to work there, the threats people working there can face, unique subsets of the profession such as dominatrixs, and an overall history of prostitution including modern news stories/scandals. The museum took about an hour to go through, but I could have spent another hour reading the fascinating anonymous notes about sex that visitors have left in the final room of the museum. I unfortunately wasted my money and time visiting the Museum of Sex in Amsterdam, but the Red Light Museum will not disappoint you and will teach you, entertain you, and of course provides the perfect photo op of you being able to sell your wares in an authentic Red Light District Window! Keep your eye out for any spinning coupon wheels in hotels or restaurants as I found a coupon for a few euros off my entrance to the museum there.

Interesting museum

The museum was very interesting as it gave us an insiders view of the life of a prostitute. Made me realize how hard a life this can be but very lucrative.

Musée très intéressant

Le musée de la prostitution se trouve en plein coeur du quartier rouge, dans un vieux building typique néerlandais. L'entrée coûte 14.5 €, ce qui est un peu cher. La visite se fait via un audioguide qui nous donne des informations. On entend le témoignage d'une prostituée des pays de l'est qui a exercé plusieurs années ce métier là. La visite commence par une vidéo puis on évolue au sein d'une bâtisse assez étroite, sans ascenseur, avec des escalier assez petits. Plusieurs arrêts jalonnent le parcours, dont la fameuse vitrine qui donne sur la rue. On apprend beaucoup de choses sur la population qui se prostitue, la légalisation de celle-ci, le fonctionnement du quartier (avec ses vitrines), les clients et leurs demandes, la prostitution dans le monde et la dangerosité potentielle, les tarifs, le mode de vie des prostituées, etc. On peut voir des chambres de prostituées (avec le matériel) reconstituées, des objets utilisés par celles-ci, etc. Vers la fin, des témoignages concernant les meurtres et sévices que peuvent subir les prostituées et enfin, un espace "confession" où vous pouvez écrire la votre et, qui sait, peut-être sera-t-elle affichée sur le mur de confessions ! Le personnel est sympathique. La visite se fait un peu vite, certes, mais l'on peut en apprendre beaucoup sur les prostituées et mettre fin aux préjugés que l'on peut avoir concernant ce métier.

Complete change of perspective!

We visited this attraction at night and found it incredibly interesting, educating and thought provoking. It really helped understand the culture of the city and the people behind the faces in the window. The audio guides were very good and staff were extremely helpful. It was very busy but this did not take away from the experience. Some complained at having to queue outside despite having pre-booked tickets, but this didn’t take long and we didn’t mind at all. Definitely add to your must visit list!

Interesting history behind open prostitution in Amsterdam

Right on the main drag of Red Light District, can't miss it, next to the live sex show, admission 14.50 euros, small but definitely interesting if you like learning about this type of profession

Definitely worth the visit if your interested in more than just what's behind the red lighted windows

Walking around the red light district left us with a lot of questions about the history behind the red light district and those who work there. Here we found some answers. Taking a break from wandering and getting a little behind the scenes info made our stay much more worthwhile then just walking around gawking lime the masses.

Amazing

Great museum, very informative and fun to go to. Myself and my partner really enjoyed our time there, I’d say it took about 45mins to walk round.

Great Little Museum

Fascinating little museum within the Red Light District which tells a story about what life was like for sex workers. Not the biggest museum you will ever visit but we’ll worth a look around while in Amsterdam

“Prostitución e Historia”

Una muy buena sumergida en los antecedentes de este tan antiguo oficio, aquí podremos ver la evolución histórica de lo que ha sido una profesión más vieja de lo que creemos y cómo ha ido convirtiéndose en un tipo de turismo el cual necesita ser regulado por muchos aspectos. Un lugar donde podrás aprender características del oficio en un par de horas.

Interesant besøg

Vi gik gennem huset med en høre dims hvor Inga fortæller historier og giver info om branchen gennem tiden.. Vil klart anbefale og give 1,5 € for dem, de sætter ord på oplevelsen. Vi var 4 veninder efter to gin& tonic på en bøssebar i nærheden så ok stemningen var høj😄

Utrolig spændende

Must visit i amsterdam

Red lights distrikt er klart et af de fascinerende områder i Amsterdam og dette lille museum er ingen undtagelse. Vi skulle egentlig bare slå noget tid ihjel da vi var i området og ventede på det blev mørkt. Det kostede os sølle 7,5€ at komme ind pr person og var rigtig spændende at gå rundt og læse og se hvordan forholdene er for pigerne i vinduerne. Der er stor forskel på disse historier og vi brugte hurtigt en time derinde
