Public Reviews Some comments from Barbican Art Gallery Facebook page, you can also comment, sign up here. “sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex....I just went on a first date (with a lady of class and distinction) to this scholarly collection of works. It ranks right up there. We followed the exposition with a night together I can only dream of to repeat.” “This was an excellent gathering of objects from around the world and all eras, to remind us how central sex has always been to our cultures, and should stay that way, uncensored, and beautiful. If anything it was too small, even if size doesn't count, sometimes you're left short of breath and asking for more... ;o)” “yes i have seen and it was such a nice exhibition i love the work of old masters like picasso.egawn shelly and other its a great time really” “I went just yesterday and although I was pressed for time (the trains into London stopped running for about an hour), I saw as much as I could and enjoyed every bit of it. As I am from the States, I was supremely glad I was here while the exhibition was on as we'd never be allowed to show this over there. ” "Being the aspiring sexual historian I am, I deeply appreciated the attention to the cultural and social impact sexuality has. It is not simply an isolated act and for me this exhibit illustrated that beautifully.” “I thought it was great, but I actually found it surprisingly tame. Maybe hanging around the Kinsey Institute has inured me, but there were very few things that really shocked me. I really loved the buxey piece, though.” “I saw the show on the private view night. It was amazing, so much to see and all of it so beautiful. Esp the Indian miniatures. I will go back and visit again and hopefully catch some of the talks.” “Loved 'Seduced' especially Jeff Koons and Klimt's sketches and will be back before it disappears!!”
