I found the Red Light Secrets museum in Amsterdam to be incredibly educational and enlightening. The recreated rooms and personal stories of sex workers really brought the realities of the profession to life. It was especially impactful to learn about the challenges they face and the importance of fair treatment. I also appreciated the section that compared sex work portrayals in media to the true experiences of sex workers. The exhibit I found most interesting was the bedroom. Seeing the items that would be in a room, how small it was, and how differently it felt from how sex work is often portrayed in media, really drove home the realism for me. This small detail made a big difference. I left the museum feeling more empathetic towards sex workers. It is easy to dismiss what they do for a living. Knowing that some of these women are victims of sex trafficking is disheartening. The Netherlands is doing their best to crack down on sex trafficking but there is always a way to slip through the cracks. This added a layer of complexity to the issue that I hadn't considered before.

I would like to give 0 stars. This is a complete waste of time and money. Skip this one for sure. This is not an authentic museum, but a tour with a recoded sex worker with a fake ridiculous Russian accent. The audio guided tour is an insult to actual sex workers. You will learn nothing!!!

The space is super tight, but it’s super interesting and well presented. The audio guide is superb. It manages to be informative, entertaining and sobering at the same time – definitely worth a visit.
