Beate Uhse Erotic Museum

Beate Uhse Erotic Museum, Sex museum on Joachimstaler Strasse, Berlin, Germany.

The Beate Uhse Erotic Museum occupied two floors, 1,800 m², of the Leineweberhaus at the corner of Kantstraße and Joachimsthaler Straße in Charlottenburg, above a Beate Uhse sex shop. Its roughly 5,000 exhibits included Japanese and Chinese picture scrolls, Indian miniatures, Persian harem scenes, a Japanese phallus shrine, Indonesian fertility figures, African dance and genital masks, early condoms and erotic graphics by Heinrich Zille.

The museum opened on 19 January 1996 in the Leineweberhaus at the corner of Kantstrasse and Joachimsthaler Strasse in Charlottenburg, above a Beate Uhse sex shop. It closed in August 2014, and the shop below shut on 14 September 2014. A planned reopening elsewhere never happened; the 2015 annual report recorded a €1.2 million loss in value for the exhibits, and over 500 former exhibits were auctioned by Historia on 25 January 2020.

The museum was named after Beate Uhse, who opened it on 19 January 1996; she had founded the world's first sex shop in 1962. Its two floors held around 5,000 items, among them Japanese and Chinese picture scrolls, Indian miniatures, Persian harem scenes, an original phallus shrine from Japan, Indonesian fertility sculptures and African dance and genital masks. European pieces were mainly erotic graphics and the first condoms, with a section devoted to Heinrich Zille's Berlin erotic work.

The museum occupied the upper two floors of the Leineweberhaus at the corner of Kantstrasse and Joachimsthaler Strasse, above a Beate Uhse sex shop, near Zoologischer Garten station and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. It closed in August 2014 and the shop below followed on 14 September 2014; no reopening took place, so the address no longer holds the exhibition.

The museum displays artwork from different cultures proving that sexuality has been a subject in painting, sculpture, and crafts since ancient times. This historical view reveals surprising links between how people expressed these themes thousands of years ago and how they do today.
