      Massagers for your back, neck, head, and all parts of the body! Yup that's right, you learn all about the history of the vibrator, from magical medical usage to psychological healing powers, seeing and reading about the technological innovations as well as the more typical uses nowadayz... think the Rabbit. If you don't know what that is, then work your way to the sex shop afterward (or before), since the museum is inside Good Vibrations.

      They check your ID at the door and make sure visitors know the store is education-based and you are encouraged to ask questions as you roam around. The museum itself is free admission and just a single room, but there's plenty to see, it may take up to half an hour, or longer if you're going to explore the items in the store as well. It was neither crowded nor empty on a Saturday afternoon, mainly couples just coming to check out the museum, but of course, making their way through the shop too. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if you are in the area and like museums, or just looking for something in the adult store, then it's worth checking out.

      Fun museum for the kids! They loved it. Wonderful selection too. My son enjoyed. They loved learning about what their grandparents made and tested. Runs in the family. Ha ha!

      Very well done and "professional" museum in the back of the store. I'm always uncomfortable walking thru the store if there are men there to get to the museum, but it's pretty enlightening. Apparently, women have used some type of vibration apparatus since early A.D.-- who knew?

      REALLY cool little museum in the Good Vibes store. Tons of interesting history on vibrators, some of the companies that make them, and their evolution. They're facts that you probably won't ever need to use in everyday life, but still pretty interesting stuff!
