A MUSEUM in Poland has been forced to ask visitors to stop having sex during a visit after it said a high-quality camera system caught couples frolicking.
Fort Gerhard museum in Świnoujście, also known as the Eastern Fort, is one of the best preserved Prussian military facilities on the European continent and dates back to the 19th century.

In a Facebook post on its official page, the military museum has asked “guests in love” not to steam in the building.
“Our guests are kindly requested … how shall we say … no ars amandi [the art of love] at the museum, please!
“The museum has been equipped with cameras for a while! And if they could talk…’
The museum staff continued: “We understand that [our] unique exhibits and uniformed service can give you chills, excitement and excitement!
“We ask our amorous guests to be understanding – most of the exhibits in our museum are from many years ago and accustomed to completely different moral standards – conservative, even orthodox and understated.
“We don’t expose them to discomfort!”
Fort Gerhard noted that the CCTV footage is checked before being deleted.
Piotr Piwowarczyk, the museum’s director, told the Warsaw-based newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza that the museum has become a popular place for sexy encounters.
“In less than a month since the start of the holiday, we have already had three shots of lovers having rendezvous,” he said.
“Visitors to the fort have different temperaments, some very conservative.
“We don’t want them to be startled by a couple engaging in lustful antics during their visit.”
The director hinted that the dark corners of the museum can give visitors a false sense of intimacy — under the omniscient cameras.
“Or maybe it’s a chakra?” he joked, referring to tantric traditions.
“Maybe this spot releases energy in the area of the body responsible for sex?”
Engaging in sexual activity in public places – public indecency – is illegal in Poland.
Those caught could face a non-custodial sentence or a fine of 1,500 zloty (€314).
