Our Story
There is a penis museum in Iceland. Which is pretty cool. But until 2017, there was no vagina equivalent anywhere in the world.
We were pretty miffed (muffed?) when we learnt this but we thought, there's only one way to rectify this.
Make one.
The Vagina Museum was founded with the intention of busting the stigma of the gynaecological anatomy and be part of a societal shift from bodily shame to celebration.
