The Museum of Sex, 233 Fifth Avenue at 27th Street, Manhattan, adds a specialist cultural institution to the Fifth Avenue directory. Its institutional history dates its New York opening to October 5, 2002 and describes a mission concerned with the history and cultural significance of human sexuality. This is an informational place profile, not a review of exhibitions or a claim of a recent opening.

Admission: adults, ID and a dated ticket

The official NYC visitor page restricts admission to adults 18 and older with valid government-issued photo ID. It links to the official NYC ticket portal. Current prices, fees and available entry slots were not confirmed; choose the intended date before making travel plans.

The museum’s FAQ asks visitors to arrive 15 minutes before ticket time and says tickets are non-refundable. It describes rescheduling up to 24 hours before the booked time, within 30 days of the original date, with possible peak-time fees. Read the terms displayed during purchase; OPC has not booked or tested a ticket.

A conflict in the museum’s own hours

At this check, the NYC location page lists Monday–Wednesday as 1–9 p.m., while the homepage lists those days as 1–10 p.m. Both say last ticket entry is two hours before closing. We cannot resolve which closing time applies to a particular visit. Confirm directly on 212-689-6337 or through the official contact page, rather than treating either schedule as guaranteed.

Access needs deserve a specific answer

The location page describes accessible entrances, elevators and restrooms. The FAQ asks visitors to request assistance, welcomes service animals and identifies accessible restrooms on the first floor. Confirm your intended route and requirements with the museum in advance; these published statements do not establish a personally tested route or the operational status of equipment.

Locate Manhattan, not a same-numbered Brooklyn address

The NYC Planning GeoSearch / PAD response identifies the Manhattan address as nycpad:venue:91612, PAD 26c, BIN 1016882, BBL 1008570001, at 40.744045, −73.987359. Other returned results include Brooklyn and East Fifth Street; those are different places. The selected result is labelled fallback, confidence 0.8, with the correct number, avenue and borough. It is an address point, not a surveyed entrance or property boundary.
