Secretum
The Secretum or secret museum was a section of the British Museum created officially in 1865 to store all historical items deemed to be obscene. Although many items considered obscene were kept under key as early as 1830. From the 1960s onwards, the artefacts were removed from this special collection and incorporated to the pertinent sections in the rooms open to the public. Nowadays only few items remain under key in the Cupboard 55 and 54 in the Department of Medieval and Later Antiquities. Among many other items, it previously contained the collection of ancient erotica given to the museum by George Witt, physician and collector of phallic antiquities. Inaccessible by the public, it was a repository for exhibits of an erotic nature.
