A Polish military museum has called for restraint after it became an unlikely sex hotspot.
Several couples have been caught red-handed at Fort Gerharda in the small town of Świnoujście, close to the German border.
Blushing bosses have had to install CCTV to try and deter people looking for a quiet place to enjoy the museum….More
The coastal defense installation was opened to the public in 2010 to tell the story of 300 years of war on Poland’s northern border.
Instead, trustees inadvertently waged an X-rated battle and called for an urgent ceasefire.
In a Facebook post, they said they understand the exhibits can give customers “shivers and excitement,” but appealed to “warm-blooded people” to take it to the next level.
The post warned that the museum is not a suitable place for the ‘art of love’, adding that the exhibits on display come from a more ‘conservative and orthodox’ time, and jokes that the practice ‘exposes them to discomfort’.
It continued: ‘It is worth recalling that the museum monitoring has recently been fitted with good quality cameras and a recorder – the records are reviewed before they are deleted, and after all, not all those captured with cameras want their love emotions are viewed by outsiders.’
A museum spokesperson helpfully suggested that guests who are in the moment can take a stroll to the nearby beaches.
According to the Mail, museum director Piotr Piwowarczyk told local newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza: ‘In less than a month we’ve already had three shots of lovers dating.
‘Visitors to the fort have different temperaments, some very conservative.
“We don’t want them to be startled by a couple engaged in lustful antics during their visit.”
