SOUNDBITE: (Korean) Martin Shim, Curator of Asia Eros Museum: "We present our items and deal with sex in an oriental philosophy. There were many (social) problems involving sex. We were simply not aware of them. Our museum is the place where people think about the differences and the perception between current and past sex-related problems. So it's not right to view our museum as exhibiting obscenity. This is the place to think about and discuss sex (in a socio-cultural context)." 11.

But in order to make a healthy family, I think we need to build up the right perception about sex. Therefore, I don't have any feelings of disgust towards these exhibitions" 17.

SOUNDBITE (Korean) Koo Sung-ae, Sex educator: "I think if we deal with sex-related items (like the ones exhibited in Asia Eros Museum) in order to make people understand mankind's' sexual activities under a historical context of human anthropology, people may have a philosophy about sex and a broader perception of it. Also this exhibition may help people to think about sex in history and how sex-related activities in our country have changed. There is also the possibility that people learn something beyond sexual activity itself, too. Therefore, it is worth visiting (Asia Eros Museum) as an alternative for people who see sex just as obscenity." Seoul 27 May 2003 22. Close up of sign outside of Asia Eros Museum 23. Wide shot of people outside of the museum STORYLINE: South Korea's first museum on sex opened just one week ago in Seoul, in an upmarket suburb of the capital just one block away from the presidential Blue House. For 10,000 Korean won (8 US dollars) visitors can view a display of exotic Asian memorabilia that includes, Japanese erotic art, an old Chinese knife used for castration, and black-and-white photos of naked women American GIs purportedly kept on their helmet liners during the Vietnam War. The exhibition also depicts an old Korean superstition that led women to pray to a penis-shaped stone to help them have sons. But the "Asia Eros Museum" is causing a sensation in this conservative society that has stifled open, public discussion on sex while maintaining one of the most prosperous sex industries in Asia. Martin Shim, the museum's curator, wants to see the taboos surrounding sex in South Korea broken. Sex educator Koo Sung-ae believes the exhibition could help Koreans broaden their perceptions of sex. The same survey showed that at least 330,000 women, mostly in their teens or twenties, thousands of them from Russia and the Philippines, earnt their living through prostitution.
