h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Didn't know the name of it but me and some friends whizzed through there on a whistle-stop tour of Amsterdam last year. Your not joking about the Skull and Crossbones exhibit!

My abiding memories of the museum are the giant phalluses (sp?) and these little phone booths which when you pick up the handset spout a torrid stream of phone sex at you.

In Amsterdam itself I will never, ever, forget the Penis fountain in one of the squares off of the canal in the middle of the Red Light district. Which is actually dissarmingly pleasant at Midday in broad daylight.
The revolving testicles linger in the imagination!

I must have missed that fountain! I didn't see anything like that. Oh well, I'll be back in Holland in May, if not before.

If memory serves: you come out of the main station front with the criss-crossing tramlines. Head straight down the main street which I think also contains the Venus Temple a little way down. Turn left across the sqaure. (I can't remember I think there might be a river you walk across.) and then you enter the Red Light District - Sex shops, loads of bars selling cannabis we meandered around there for a while then I think we followed the canal up. Further along you come to a sort of cross roads and, in the middle, is the penis fountain. I have photos for proof. I'll bring e'm with me to London if you you want the evidence!

Very nice instructions, but I'm afraid totally useless. There are loads of canals and crossroads in Amsterdam. (More miles of canals than in Venice.) But I'll probably have fun searching.

Photographic evidence will be appreciated of course.
