Museum of Eroticism, Sex museum in Pigalle district, Paris, France.
The Museum of Eroticism displayed erotic art collections across seven floors, including ancient religious artifacts from India, Japan, and Africa to contemporary artworks.
The museum opened in 1997 in a former cabaret building and operated until November 2016, when the building owner declined to renew the lease.
The collection included a dedicated floor about maisons closes, the regulated brothels that operated in Paris until their closure in 1946.
Located at 72 Boulevard de Clichy, visitors could access the museum via Metro line 2 at Blanche station or bus lines 30, 54, and 74.
