The Ethnography Collection at the
State Museum in Copenhagen contains the world's largest collection of
Inuit North Danish fur panties in public ownership (not excluding the possibility of a larger collection in private hands). This is all due to
Knud Rasmussen. From 1916 to 1924, in the course of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Thule Expeditions, he and his hand-picked team of ethnologists took their dog teams across Greenland and Eastern Arctic Canada, from one small transient Inuit settlement to the next. They would record each tribe's folklore, describe the material technology, watch the local shaman and try to work out his conjuring tricks, and then they would buy out the entire stock of the tribal sex shop.
"What is that interesting walrus-ivory carving under the counter? Yes, we'll buy that too. Do you have change for a dried haddock?"
After one of these visits the Inuit would be all "It's been a long day" (or night as the case may be) and "Let's just cuddle tonight and watch the Aurora Borealis" for the next six months until the shop could be restocked, and the shaman would be surprised by the sudden popularity of his grown-ups-only re-enactments of the creation and fertility myth.
Substance McGravitas goes on about his Biodiversity Museum but it has nothing on the Rasmussen Collection.
UPDATE: As mikey points out in comments, there is a missed opportunity here for Museum merchandising.
I forgot to mention the Novelty Condom cabinet:

Where'd they get the dude with the fish in his mouth?
Can you connect me to the help desk please? I've been over every pixel of this post and I can't find the shopping cart function ANYWHERE. Also, I want to check inventory to make sure you have my...size, if'n y'know what I mean, and I'm pretty sure you do.
Also, too, on J--'s link I noticed that they have a Resistance Museum, but not even a small room devoted to Capacitance. And don't even HOPE to see a display on Inductance...

Surgical sutures or bolts?

I saw that and withstood the urge to click. I'm so proud of myself!
Middle picture, far left in the middle. That one's got tassels for hip shakin' the cold away.
Many of these (including j--'s favorite) show the use of dangerous bleaching products. Proving that if the tundra don't get ya then the whitening will.

On display outside it is this homemade armoured frite stall.
I tried to explain to the nice gentlemen from the transit police that it was Cantonese Opera Underwear and I was on my way to the Cantonese Opera, but they seemed to have little appreciation for the fine arts...
No magic Mormon underwear in Substance's museum. Whadda rip-off.
On second thoughts do not rip off magic Mormon underwear.
Australian sex practices are kinda weird.
First of all, I first read this entry title as "The Wonder of thundra," and I was like. "Awwwww. So sweet."
Second of all,

Is Smut trying to tell us he has claspers?
Smut Clyde is an ambisexual walnut.

He's hung like a shark.
This is normal in New Zealand.
spider panties for the summer
This is normal in New Zealand.
If your boats were more seaworthy, shark attacks would be less of a problem.
