The Erotic Heritage Museum
Many years ago Harry Mohney, America's leading Erotologist, together with Ted McIlvenna of the Exodus Trust, envisioned an art centre that would feature the very best of erotic art through permanent collections and regularly scheduled featured exhibits. It is through their combined efforts that the Erotic Heritage Museum was able to open to the public on August 2, 2008.
The Museum seeks to bridge the gap between that which is commercial and often misidentified as pornographic, with that which is aesthetic, often identified as folk, pop and fine art through a common visual language. The Museum encompasses over two stories and 24,000 square feet of permanent and featured exhibits; all designed to preserve the wonders of the erotic imagination as depicted through the artistic expression of acts of sex and love. Within this massive area of wonders you can find a fine art gallery, showcasing over 800 artist's paintings, drawings, photographs and sculptures.
The Museum houses over eighty years of adult films, dating back to 1915's "A Free Ride", as well as the worlds largest collection of original adult movie posters from the 70's and 80's. The Museum also houses a mini-theatre, interactive video booths and a peep show exhibit that displays peep shows from the past, as well as a modern high-tech peep show. Considering the amount of knowledge, the various erotic collections and the intriguing exhibits, it is not surprising that some visitors spend well over three hours inside of the Museum walls.
In keeping with the legacy of the American Sexual Revolution, the Museum is dedicated to the belief that sexual pleasure and fun are natural aspects of the human experience, that such pleasure must be made available to all and that our individual sexuality belongs to each of us.
