COPENHAGEN. D.H. Lawrence categorized life as the religious and the sexual. This particular museum concentrates on the latter. Erotica and sex are portrayed both in mild nude sketches and in depictions of graphic sexual content, including underground movies (circa 1920) and present-day XXX cinema. The mild stuff is housed on the first floor; each subsequent floor gets more graphic, and the third and fourth floors are not for the faint of heart.
