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 was founded in 2013 under the direction of Igor Knyazkin, who led a prostate research center at the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. This background shaped its founding approach and the initial focus of the collection.
The collection shows how physical intimacy and relationships were viewed and presented across different periods of Russian society. The artworks span various eras and reveal how these perspectives shifted over time.
The museum sits near Ligovsky Prospekt metro station and operates 24 hours daily, making it convenient to visit at any time. Plan to spend about 90 minutes to move through the exhibitions at a comfortable pace.
The museum houses a controversial piece claimed to be a preserved anatomical specimen linked to Grigory Rasputin, the infamous figure from Russian history. This artifact draws regular visitors curious about Russia's darker historical narratives.
