The Kinsey Institute

On a recent trip to visit Indiana University(my top choice school), I had the pleasure of touring the gallery at The Kinsey Institute which was founded in 1947.

Photos are not allowed inside but they kindly offered to take a photo of me next to the sign.
The Kinsey Institute's mission is to "to promote interdisciplinary research and scholarship in the fields of human sexuality, gender, and reproduction." I saw the two exhibits Sex and Presidential Politics and Pre-Revolutionary Queer: Gay Art and Culture Before Stonewall. See more about these two exhibits here.

I also see that they have online galleries of previous exhibits, including the fascinating Kinsey Confidential which features 33 images of the featured artwork and 33 questions and answers about sex. To see the questions and answers, you just click on the thumbnail a second time.

Keep in mind this is not safe for work and could be considered obscene by some standards.
