Off hall 5 is the smaller Garden of Delights (room 6) dedicated to the art of love in antiquity (erotica or smut if the items were not that old, although the artistic quality of several items is very high). This display includes a lot of male genitalia — symbol of fertility and protector against all kinds of evil in many regions — used in the shape of bells, charms, and oil lamps.
