Hollywood Erotic Museum, Sex museum on Hollywood Boulevard, California.
The Hollywood Erotic Museum was a sex museum on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, dedicated to artistic representations of human sexuality. It occupied a building from 1926 along one of the city's most recognized commercial streets.
The museum opened in the early 2000s as one of the few institutions of its kind in the United States. It closed after a short time due to financial difficulties and shifting conditions in the neighborhood.
The museum displayed works by artists who approached human sexuality as a subject for painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The collection invited visitors to look at the human body and intimacy through the same lens as any other subject in fine art.
A visit required contacting the museum in advance since regular opening hours were not guaranteed. The museum is now closed, so checking its current status before planning any trip is strongly advised.
The collection reportedly included a rare film recording from the 1940s that allegedly featured a well-known Hollywood figure, with no other known copy in existence. This piece was one of the most talked-about items in the collection.
