The following interview, conducted with Museum of Vancouver
curator Viviane Gosselin, is intended to provide a behind-the-scenes look at Controversy and Condoms: Showing Sexuality in Canadian
Museums, an article by Kierra Jones in the July/August 2013
edition of the CMA’s Muse magazine. The exhibition Sex Talk in the City is presented until September 2, 2013.

From a confluence of events:
Years ago I worked at a science centre on an exhibition exploring aspects of
human biology. The segment on puberty and teens' sexuality provoked so many fun
and challenging conversations on the part of museum staff and visitors that I
promised myself I would one day work on an exhibition entirely dedicated to the
topic of sexuality. Sex Talk in the City
is the first project I proposed when I joined the curatorial team at the Museum
of Vancouver (MOV) three years ago.
