Musée de l'Érotisme

Musée de l'Érotisme Review

What better place for the Museum of Erotic Art than smack in the heart of the city's red-light district? Though the subject matter is rather limited, the collection is a respectable mix of world art, such as carvings from Africa, Indonesia, and Peru; Chinese ivories; and Japanese prints. There are racy cartoons by Robert Crumb and photographs of Pigalle prostitutes and bordellos, some quite chic, from the 1930s and 1940s. Three floors are dedicated to temporary exhibitions by contemporary artists and photographers.
