Weird But TrueA 200-year-old condom decorated with erotic art goes on display in famous Dutch museumBy Associated PressPublishedJune 3, 2025, 2:22 p.m. ET
The Netherlands’ national museum has a new object on display that merges art with Amsterdam’s infamous Red Light District: a nearly 200-year-old condom, emblazoned with erotic art.
The Rijksmuseum said in a statement that the playful prophylactic, believed to be made around 1830 from a sheep’s appendix, “depicts both the playful and the serious side of sexual
health.”

The condom, possibly a souvenir from a brothel, is decorated with an erotic image of a nun and three clergymen.

The phrase “This is my choice” is written along the sheath in French. According to the museum, this is a reference to the Pierre-Auguste Renoir painting “The Judgment of Paris,” which
depicts the Trojan prince Paris judging a beauty contest between three goddesses.
The condom is on display until the end of November.
