World Erotic Art Museum, Miami
Let鈥檚 be honest: the words 鈥渆rotic鈥� and 鈥渕useum鈥� don鈥檛 often rub shoulders (in lexical terms). But this is Miami Beach, where improbable pairings put on their sunglasses and thrive... One such instance is the World Erotic Art Museum (or WEAM for those on the shy side).
Opened in 2005, this fornication fortress explores the global history of human sexuality, with a timeline running from roughly 300 BC straight to the immediate present. Amid an array of more than 4,000 displayed items you will find classical art, ancient artifacts, and a trove of sex toys, from a Kama Sutra-carved bed to a dominatrix Barbie doll that absolutely means business...
The galleries鈥攐ver 20 rooms, spanning 12,000 square feet鈥攕tack sex-related paintings, tapestries, jewelry, and sculpture from pretty much every corner of the world. Much of it is one-of-a-kind; some of it is frankly鈥natomically enthusiastic. (Yes, there鈥檚 an antique phallus collection. And yes, it's quite illustrative in terms of showcasing every imaginable shape and size.) But it鈥檚 not just giggles and raised eyebrows. This quirky museum offers tonnes of information about ancient sexual practices, explaining how different cultures pictured intimacy, ritual, pleasure, and power鈥攖urning a blushing subject into a smart, surprisingly tender art history lesson.
Indeed, if 鈥渄inner鈥檚 at eight鈥� and you have plenty of time for an unforgettable detour to this cornucopia of coitus, why not stop by? Bring a friend, a curious mind, and a healthy sense of humor. You鈥檒l learn things, you鈥檒l laugh, and you鈥檒l leave with cocktail-party facts that no one else sees coming. America鈥檚 largest collection of erotic art sits right here in South Beach鈥攅qual parts thrilling, sensual, and educational. Consider your cultural horizons officially expanded...
