Blue Law Sunday? Museum of Sex
THE NEW YORK TIMES
By Neil Genzlinger
NEW YORK - Blue laws, for the uninitiated, enforced the concept that Sunday, in our Christian city and nation, was a time for churchgoing, not for “shooting, hunting, fishing, sporting, playing, horse-racing, gaming, frequenting of tippling houses, or any unlawful exercises or pastimes,” as an 1828 state statute put it. And certainly, one imagines, not a time for going to museums of sex. But that was then; this is now. And here in the now, most anything goes on Sunday. The Museum of Sex, on Fifth Avenue at 27th Street, opens at 10 a.m. that day. [link]
