Episode #13 - All about the Vagina... Museum!

Hey!

So my sister Pauline and I went to visit the Vagina Museum in London (inside Camden Market) and it is the very first museum dedicated to all things Vaginas! Yay!

It’s such a powerful and much needed initiative to raise awareness of our gynaecological anatomy and health, to give confidence to people to talk about it and help erase the stigma around our body.

We went to see the first exhibition called “Muff Busters: Vagina Myths and How to Fight Them”.

“Almost half of the world's population has one, yet vaginas and the rest of the gynaecological anatomy are still a taboo subject in many people's daily lives. Like many subjects under-represented within society and education, more myths and legends exist in popular culture about all things “down there” than fact.”

The exhibition highlights just a handful of the myths that circulate in popular culture, the internet and many other platforms about the gynaecological anatomy including society's ideals around cleanliness and appearance, periods, contraception and sex.

In today’s podcast episode we chat with Pauline about our visit and what we discovered and enjoyed there ;-)

We talk about:

  • why we need to keep educating ourselves around our sexuality and anatomy

  • how to keep breaking taboos and bring light to crazy myths

  • our favourite part of the museum and why you’ll want to go too!

  • plus a fun fact about my sister and I…

Go ahead and listen to the episode here>>

If you have a chance to come to London and visit it: go ahead!

And let’s hope more initiatives like this one will start to bloom everywhere!

With love,

Camille
