Interesting and informative and the booklet we received was a plus. Since in a lot of ways, legal prostitution is what Amsterdam is known for, I would recommend to anyone coming for a visit

it is a very small place , very limited exhibits, it is not a museum , not worth the money we visited this place 6/20/18. You walked thru narrow nasty ally and stairs with almost no exhibit. All they got is some video and fun staff. We walked through it in 10 minutes. Besides, the place looked messy and disorganized , it is just a make shift place. Not worth the money at all.

Found the Redlight Museum a waste of time. I was expecting more as the tour was basically just a walk through and the information was not very good. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
