The Oasis Bordello Museum in Wallace, Idaho is in a building which housed an active bordello until 1988 at which time the occupants quickly left town upon hearing about a possible federal raid. They left behind personal items, food in the cupboards, the remains of a meal on the table, and even groceries in a grocery bag on the kitchen counter. The building was purchased from the former madam in 1993 and opened as a museum. Shown below is some of the artwork displayed in this museum.
