The next installation coming to the Museum of Sex includes a boob bouncy house, just one of the pieces that will make up their Erotic Fairground called Funland. Here's what that looks like (NSFW?):
Funland is, at its throbbing heart, an art installation by renowned London-based conceptual artist duo Bompas & Parr, and will feature "a selection of carnival attractions for audiences to enjoy and experience while they contemplate the sexual subtext of carnivals." There are five attractions, each set to stimulate all five senses through physical, visual and olfactory experiences. They claim participants will be left with "a breathless rush of endorphins similar to those released at the point of orgasm."
There's the aforementioned bouncy house, which they describe as a "moonbounce made of giant, over-sized breasts," as well as a "wall of orifices and appendages" in something called Grope Mountain. In search of something more? Try the Tunnel of Love, "a mirrored labyrinth that leads patrons on a climactic journey to the Gräfenberg (or 'G') Spot." There will also be edible treats and god knows what else. Bring Purell!
The exhibit opens this Thursday, and runs through Spring of 2015.
