A Canadian museum has come under fire for a graphic sex exhibit designed to “fill in gaps” left by changes in the sex education curriculum in the region.
“Sex: A Tell-All Exhibition,” at Canada’s Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa, includes screens displaying aroused genitals, naked statues with light-up erogenous zones and video displays prompting visitors to answer sexually explicit questions, the Ottawa Sun reports.
The exhibit was reportedly designed to “fill in gaps” left by changes to sexual education programs in the region.
The exhibit initially targeted children as young as 12. The age for admission has now been raised to 16, but younger children can still see the exhibit on field trips, the Ottawa Sun reports.
Additionally, an animated video aimed at educating children about exploring their own bodies has been removed.
“This content cannot be defended, and is insulting to taxpayers,” said James Maunder, spokesman for federal Heritage Minister James Moore.
The National Museum of Science and Technology reportedly receives about $30 million in federal funding each year. “Sex: A Tell-All Exhibition” cost $800,000 to build, according to the Ottawa Sun.
Leave it to government bureaucrats to figure out the most obscene way possible to waste taxpayer dollars.
