Museo Erótico de Barcelona

Exhibition space on La Rambla in Barcelona, with a permanent collection on sexuality throughout history: reproductions of graphic works, pieces by Picasso and objects linked to sadomasochism.

The Museo Erótico de Barcelona occupies premises on La Rambla, 96 bis, and houses a permanent exhibition devoted to eroticism in painting, printmaking and the history of customs. The works include reproductions of graphic pieces from different periods, from Japanese shunga to works by Goya and Velázquez, as well as some of the most daring works by Picasso.

The route devotes space to sadomasochism and bondage, with a pleasure chair on display alongside its accessories. These materials are intended to show how the practices and representations of desire have changed, rather than offering a purely artistic reading.

The visit also includes curious facts about world sexual records and an overview of the evolution of sexual life through the different eras. As a permanent collection, the exhibition can be visited for as long as the museum remains open.
