Erotic Museum Barcelona, Sex museum in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain.
The Erotic Museum Barcelona is an art museum in the Gothic Quarter housing more than 800 works spanning different historical periods. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and historical objects that explore artistic representations of sensuality and the human form.
Founded in 1997, it was Spain's first museum dedicated entirely to erotic art and representation. The institution evolved to showcase how artistic perspectives on human intimacy have developed across different civilizations and historical periods.
The collection displays works from multiple civilizations, showing how different cultures have portrayed sensuality and desire in their art. By placing these pieces together, the museum reveals how attitudes toward the body and intimacy have shifted across geographical regions and time periods.
The museum is open daily and easily accessible on foot from the center of the Gothic Quarter. Plan for a visit lasting one to two hours, and note that the content is intended for adult visitors.
The collection includes two original Picasso works and displays films from the early days of Spanish cinema that were once produced for King Alfonso XIII. These rare pieces come from an era when such content was handled with great discretion.
