To put it frankly: it’s a BDSM museum, featuring handcuffs, bondage, and other tributes to Fifty Shades of Grey-like fantasies. So whether you’re into kink or are just a little curious, this will be an interesting stop on your tour of Chicago’s weirdest museums. Oh, and naturally, you have to be 21 or older to enter.

Learned a ton about a section of Chicago culture and history that I knew nothing about. Its a clean and well organized museum with rotating exhibits. I didnt see it, but they also have an archival library and auditorium where they hold lectures and such. Adults only.

I think I expected it to be a bit more than what it turned out to be, but Im glad I went and Im glad its in my neighborhood. It lives up to the archives and museum in the name; it feels very academic.

One of Chicagos hidden gems, where you can learn not only about leather and fetish history, but also LGBTQ history as well.

Interesting place, but more a tribute to the greater Chicago area scene than a museum.
