‘Boob bags’ mishap suit
Gal hurt at Sex Museum
It was the breast of times. It was the worst of times.
A Brooklyn woman in a bouncy house of inflatable boobs at the Museum of Sex was left battered and bloodied when she failed to get a soft landing, sources said.
“It was her birthday. She was there with about 10 friends,” a source familiar with the incident told The Post. “Two or three were with her in the bouncy house; they were taking pictures. She was bouncing between the two boobs, and then she didn’t bounce up.”
Melanie Abramov, 35, an executive for Ralph Lauren, ventured into the bawdy Fifth Avenue mu- seum on July 12, 2014, to see the art installation, “Funland: Pleasures & Perils of the Erotic Playground,” according to a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit she filed against the Chelsea museum last week.
But the titillating experience turned traumatic after she entered “Jump for Joy,” a bounce-fest made of giant plastic breasts. “A friend was taking her picture, and then she sees Melanie on the floor, teeth cracked, nose broken and blood gushing from her lip and nose,” the source said.
Abramov was rushed to the hospital and ultimately needed dental implants and her nose fixed, the source said.
The incident also left her “emotionally” dis- traught, according to court papers. The suit, which seeks unspecified damages, alleges the museum was negligent. It allowed “a hard structure, perhaps steel, underneath” the bouncy house, the source said.
The source alleged the inflatable exhibit had been shut down twice for repair prior to Abramov’s fall.
The bounce house was part of the “Funland” exhibit, according to the museum’s Web site.
The suit names the museum, and the Londonbased conceptual artist duo Bompas & Parr, which developed the installation, among others.
Abramov’s attorney Zarina Burbacki declined to comment.
