200-Year-Old Sheep Appendix Condom Draws Crowds to Amsterdam Museum

Amsterdam museum showcases a 200-year-old condom made from a sheep's appendix. The Rijksmuseum's new exhibit, part of a larger show on 'Safe Sex?', features this unusual artifact. Measuring eight inches and adorned with an erotic etching, the condom has attracted significant attention since its unveiling. "Since it was put on display, the museum has been packed with people—young and old—and the response has been amazing," said a museum representative. The condom, purchased for €1,000 at auction, is believed to have originated from a high-class French brothel around 1830. Its unique construction and historical context make it a fascinating piece of social history.
