We stopped in at the Musee Erotisme while in Montmarte visiting the Sacre Coeur and Moulin Rouge. It was definately a fun time - not for the shy or the prude! You will definately learn some new things, especially historical and ethnic facts from around the world. There are some fun temporary exhibits as well by modern artists. Its very... more

I'd been really looking forward to visiting the museum but actually found it rather disappointing. On the whole it is just a collection of statue and images of [--]. There is little that is actually erotic or unusual. (In fact we had a more enlightening and amusing time visiting the nearby [--] supermarket instead.) The floor which detailed the history... more

We had expected this museum to be a light and colourful history of erotic art and, in particular, that pertaining to Montmartre. All the literature has famous titillating paintings, and although we realised that none of these would actually be in the museum we assumed there would be something around them exhibited. In Montmartre, in the Pigalle area we had... more

I highly recommend this museum as a diversion from Paris' more serious and renowned museums and sights. This museum has folk art and contemporary art focused on erotic themes as well as a very interesting historical section of photographs of the 'red light' district in earlier times. Photography is allowed (even encouraged?). See my pics: [--] more

A great collection of erotic art from all cultures, very entertaining. Don't miss out the top floor where we were pleasantly surprised to discover a man dressed in bondage attire. Said gentleman was more than happy to pose for a photo and even extended his hospitality as far as offering us a strip tease! more

I was pleasantly surprised at the extent of the collections. I was also pleasantly surprised at the handsome young man dancing on the top floor. I almost didn't go up there because it seemed that the exhibit stopped at the floor below. I also remember one statute that I wished I could purchase, it was beautiful! This museum is well... more

A great place to view artifacts and memorabilia from days past on all matter of sex, sexuality and the human condition which spans the cultures and ages. Skip the Moulin Rouge and wind an hour or so here. more

This was an incredible oportunity to explore erotic art from many cultures in one location. Having studied this from art history it was fascinating to see first hand. Most may not appreciate this, but if you are an open minded individual ready for exploration of cultures and eroticism this is for you. Absolutely stunning! more
