La Rambla, 96 bis,
Liceu

Erotica and its depiction throughout history is explored in this unique museum, comprising prints, sculpture and paintings from Ancient Greece right up to works from the modern day.

Anyone imagining explicit sexual imagery is a product of our modern age had better think again… seems like our ancestors have been at it for ages! From a dark cubby hole where you can watch vintage porn, to elegant antique prints from the Far East, sex is everywhere in this popular and relaxed museum.

Look out for some strange depictions of sexual acrobatics -- can that move with the pulleys and step ladder really be possible… and all at once? Guaranteed to raise an eyebrow at least.
