The City Museum’s exhibition deals with the sexual behavior of the townspeople and prostitution in Tallinn from the 15th century to World War II. We approach the topic through the perspective of social history, casting an exciting cultural-historical perspective as well as urging society to be ready to deal with this sensitive topic without false shame. In the exhibition, we are primarily about the fringes of satisfying sexual desires – not couple relationships, but prostitution, erotica and pornography. The exhibition presents the visitor with different aspects of Tallinn’s “indecent” life – we will find out what prostitution meant, how prostitutes lived and worked, who were clients of prostitutes, what pornography was like in different eras, what dangerous venereal diseases spread.
