We couldn't have done it without you. The Vagina Museum is truly a community endeavour, and a labia of love. We invite you to participate in this quim-credible fundraising campaign and join thousands of people in making history https://www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2

And it was update time to our permanent exhibition, From A to V displayed in Betsey's Gallery, too! We addressed more of your FAQs about the gynaecological anatomy. Some reworked sections of the exhibition include a real human uterus, the menstrual cycle from the perspective of the cervix and more vulvas than ever!

Saved from closure, we were in a position to launch some amazing new projects. Anarcha's Gallery, our community space, hosted two new exhibitions. Trans Ephemera was a creation by 10 trans artists and creatives, building community and telling their stories. Before the Blood, in collaboration with Nisaba, displays migrant womens' stories of their first periods.

When we launched the campaign, it was a last-ditch effort to save the Vagina Museum, but we were blown away by how much this little museum of minges, muffs and merkins means to you. In just 48 hours, more than £60,000 was donated by this fanny-tastic community. That's surely some kind of record!

Since we launched this campaign, a lot has happened. Most importantly, we were saved from imminent closure. Without you, we'd have shut our doors permanently in April 2025. But times are still challenging and tough, so we continue to need your help.

We're closing our fundraising campaign at the end of the month, so this is your last chance to join thousands of eager beavers in a historic moment! All donations made this week will be doubled by a very kind charitable foundation https://www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2

The Vagina Museum exists because of voluntary donations. We literally couldn't do it without you. Until the end of the month, donations made to our fundraising campaign to support our running costs are doubled by a kind charitable foundation. Please give what you can to help us educate in an increasingly-hostile world. https://www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2

We'd like to thank our community on Twitter for all of their support over the years, and we hope to see you on the other side. Our doors are also open to come and visit the Vagina Museum - admission is free!

Ovary and out,

However, under present circumstances, we are ceasing activity on this platform. We will review our stance if circumstances change. You can connect with us on Mastodon, Bluesky and Instagram (you already are! And other links are in our bio!)

Over the years, we have had a largely positive experience on Twitter, and used the platform to extend our educational work outside of the physical walls of the museum. This has meant the world to us and enabled us to build a community.

Important news regarding our use of Twitter: Owing to the current circumstances, we have taken the decision to stop using our Twitter account. We cannot in good conscience continue to use a platform which is linked to image-based sexual harassment and violence, and AI-generated child sexual abuse material.

It's taken us a good five years to get a free charity Google Ads account set up. These accounts offer a substantial amount of free advertising. And with "vagina" in our name, it took quite a while to get set up, because, well, digital automated censorship.

A quick ground rule. If your instinct is to tell us off for using a google product, stop typing and donate £10 instead. We're a small charity and we live in a society. We have to take all the help we can get, even if it's google. https://www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2

It's time to tell you about another new, exciting type of digital censorship that we've discovered while existing as a museum of vaginas, vulvas and the gynaecological anatomy. This time: Google Ads.
