Museums are far from the boring places you might think they are. Our ancestors knew very well about the art of love and sex and liked to leave for us scenes not only from their everyday lives, battles and priests’ wisdom. Thanks to those artworks, now we know a lot about their sexual habits and preferences.
Starting as early as rock paintings in caves, humans have strived to show the beauty of the sacrament happening between a man and a woman.
