Erotic Museum Barcelona

Many people regard Barcelona as a non-judgemental and accepting city. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that it is home to the Erotic Museum Barcelona. It is one of Barcelona’s most famous alternative museums and you cannot find any other museum like this in Spain. Founded in 1997, the Erotic Museum is home to the history of global eroticism.

 

 

A more recent addition to the many famous landmarks in Barcelona. You can spot the museum on La Rambla with Marilyn Monroe standing on the balcony. It goes without saying that you must be 18 or older to enter the Erotic Museum, as it is an adult-only exhibition. For more information on tickets and the museum take a look at the Erotic Museum website (https://www.erotica-museum.com).

Many visitors claim the erotic garden to be their favourite room in the exhibition, filled with intriguing shaped plants and statues. This museum is more than just a laugh and is in fact rather educational. It brings together different cultures and societies by analysing their mutual interests in eroticism.

Pablo Picasso was a famous 19th-century Spanish artist from Málaga. He was known for his talent in multiple art media. These include painting, sculpting, assembling, engraving and many more. He was also known for having multiple lovers, whom he used as inspiration for many of his pieces. The romantic and erotic experiences he had with these lovers had a particular influence on his engravings of nude women.

The Erotic Museum holds two of his engravings, which illustrate multiple nude women. The museum is extremely fortunate to be able to display two pieces by Picasso and it is definitely worth a visit.
