Vegas Presents The Erotic Heritage Museum

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

A few weeks back, The Erotic Heritage Museum, dedicated to porny art, opened in Las Vegas. 

Now that we've had time to look over some of its exhibits, we present a full rundown for your titillation... 

Here are some of our favorite images, all from currently-featured artists:


The Museum was founded by Harry Mohney, an "Erotologist" (is that sort of like a proctologist, but with an even greater love of anal?) and Ted McIlvenna. They have scoured permanent collections the world over to bring you "the very best of erotic art." Their museum claims

celebrating our erotic heritage is one of the great spiritual movements of our time. To that end, the Exodus Trust [which houses the museum] is dedicated to seeking out, evaluating, acquiring and preserving sexual artifacts for future generations.

For the priviledge of leering at all this fine, fine art, you'll be charged $15 admission. Of course, seniors get in for $12...

Brian, you disappoint, calling that a full rundown.  I know you don't have the resources of the LA Times, which did a good article on the place...

vegasblog.latimes.com/.../erotic-heritage.html

... but you could have at least tried to describe what the place looked like and whether it was worth a visit.
