200-year-old condom 'in mint condition' says museum
Museum officials unveil the rare artifact dating back 200 years at an event Tuesday. The condom, in mint condition, was discovered in a home in the outskirts of town. It still contains traces of mucus, according to experts.
Officials at the city's Museum of Historic Remedies say the rare artifact, discovered in the outskirts of town, is an important find that sheds light on the lives and sexual habits of residents two centuries ago. The museum has been at the center of a contentious debate over whether it should focus more on historical cures or the tools used to administer them.
"It's truly amazing that something like this could be so well-preserved for hundreds of years, providing us with invaluable insight into the past," said Mary Brinton, the museum's curator.
