Musée de l'érotisme, Sex museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia
MusEros is a museum dedicated to erotic art and history located on Ligovskiy Avenue in Saint Petersburg. The collection spans five exhibition rooms and features sculptures, photographs, and artifacts documenting intimate themes across different eras.

The museum opened on 14 February 2013. Its five rooms are divided by theme: the ancient world, a picture and sculpture gallery, the erotic customs of different peoples, a modern hall holding Europe's largest collection of sex machines and BDSM constructions, and a 3D multimedia room. Items were bought at auctions, drawn from private collections, or donated by doctors.
The museum occupies five rooms, including a historical hall, an exhibition hall, a hall of erotic culture, a modern hall and a 3D multimedia room. The modern hall holds the largest collection of sex machines and BDSM constructions in Europe. Allow time to move through all five.
