Musée de l'Erotisme (Museum of Erotic Art - 72 Boulevard de Clichy, 75009 Paris) is not for the faint of heart or the prudish of mind. You will need to leave all conventional judgment behind before even approaching the ticket window. Seven floors of every imaginable and some unimaginable devices, pictures, sculptures, paintings, etc. are displayed here. Some will make you burst out laughing and others will make you raise your eyebrows. Most of the exhibition articles are one of a kind and have arrived from around the world. Quite a few sculptures are for sale, with price tags in the thousands.
Relax and enjoy. Leave a Comment Phone: +33 01.42.58.28.73Other Contact: Métro: Blanche

Paris, the capitol of love, has no museum of love--but they do have one paying homage to the wild world of sex!
The rare exhibition at this museum has prints and videos, photographs and african wood sculpture, pottery exploiting sex 2,000 years ago, erotic snuff bottles, Japanese sex education books, Chinese sex manuals, lithographs, chastity belts, photographs of luxury and popular brothels when they were legal.
Warning: doesn't leave much to the imagination!
The Museum of Erotic Art is towards Place de Clichy, just before the Moulin Rouge. (Look for the two stone sculptures flanking the entrance.)

It should not be a surprise that Paris has a Musée de l'Erotisme ("Museum of the Erotic"). If this genre of art appeals to you, you will find this museum fascinating. The collection is extensive, multicultural, and spans all ages of humanity.
Open daily, from 10 AM till 2 AM. There are four floors of exhibits, plus a museum shop.

The first times I went to Paris, never give much attention to Pigalle area. This time I decide to make a short trip (day and night) along the sex-shops and feel the ambience ... a lot to see, learn and experience.
Went to Sex Museum, bought a film (black & white from begining of XX century), made a visit to the sex supermarket and watch the neons around Moulin Rouge.

Sharing the neighborhood with the infamous Moulin Rouge in the Red Light District, the Musuem of Eroticism is seven floors of erotic objects and art gathered from around the world. Collections are both tasteful and tacky, provoking and entertaining. From the phallic to the vulva, the adults are sure to get a kick out of this joint. The museum is open 7 days a week from 10am to 2am and charges a fee of 8 euros. Leave a Comment

Musée de l'Erotisme - obvisouly located near Place Pigalle, and obviously over 18 only. This rule is not strict however: I managed to have some youngers students go in, with the result that they came out shocked and might decide never to have a sex-life again. Moralist parents will surely thank me. Leave a Comment

If you like old jewelry and such there is a store at 362 Rue St. Honore called Dary's that has been there since the 1930's and has wonderful things. I got a pair of cuff-links made from ancient Greek coins earlier this September. The staff is extremely nice and helpful and the stock is great for browsing.
Have a good time!
