The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University (in Bloomington, Indiana) has
a major collection of all types of objects--from condoms and dildos to
printed material and artworks--relating to human sexuality.  They don't,
however, maintain gallery space.  They do occasionally exhibit at other
galleries in the University--there was an exhibit of Kinsey material
last fall.  Contact the IU School of Fine Arts for information--I
believe there was a catalog of that exhibit.
