The Vagina Museum is a small museum on Poyser Street in Cambridge Heath, devoted to female reproductive health and gynaecological anatomy. Its exhibits cover periods, menopause, human rights and diversity, with displays that challenge myths and stigma. Look for the preserved uterus and images showing how cervixes can vary. Entry is free, with donations welcome. You can also browse the gift shop or check for talks and workshops if you want to explore the subject further.
Exhibits on health and anatomy
The museum uses exhibits to explore reproductive health, gynaecological anatomy and the social attitudes attached to them. Topics include menstrual health, menopause, hormone replacement therapy, human rights and diversity. Displays also address common infections and painful conditions affecting the vulva and surrounding anatomy.
A preserved uterus is among the objects on display. Images of cervixes at different stages of the menstrual cycle offer another close look at anatomical variation. The exhibits aim to counter myths and reduce stigma, presenting subjects that are often left out of everyday conversation.
Talks, workshops and the gift shop
The museum also holds talks, events and craft workshops. These can add more context to the exhibition themes, so check what is scheduled before visiting if you would like to attend one.
A small gift shop sells unusual items connected with the museum's subject matter. The museum is a compact space, and the time needed depends on how much you want to read and explore.
