200-year-old condom 'in mint condition' says museumThe sheath is dated to about 1830, the museum says (image pixelated)Rijksmuseum curator Joyce Zelen told the BBC when she and her colleague first spotted the condom at auction they "were laughing". The rare artefact dates back to 1830 and was purchased by the museum at an auction last year. An almost 200-year-old condom - in "mint condition" - has just gone on display at an exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Since it was put on display the museum has been packed with people - young and old - and the "response has been amazing", she added. "As far as we can tell we are the only art museum with a printed condom," said Ms Zelen.
