The museum sits within the context of a red-light district: an area associated with the sex industry and sex-oriented businesses, where prostitution may occur legally or illegally depending on the place. The enforcement of prostitution laws varies by region, but the museum's subject is specifically the reality of prostitution life behind the red lights.
