Beate Uhse Erotik-Museum - Berlin, Germany

This popular sex museum in the hip and groovy Berlin is one of the city's top tourist attractions.

It was founded by, and named after, the grande dame of the German adult trade, Beate Uhse, a woman who opened the world's first shop devoted to "marital hygiene" in the 1960s. Her erotic empire is now huge, and her company is listed on the German stock exchange.

This museum is the culmination of a dream for Beate, and was opened in 1996. Located in a relatively seedy area of Berlin, it offers a variety of erotic artefacts as well as a huge adult store.

Collection Highlights

Carved whale penises, Chinese "Wedding Tiles" from the 18th-19th centuries, Japanese Shunga art, 2000 year old Peruvian drinking vessels, photographs of Berlin's more famous erotic clubs and a special exhibition highlighting the life of the museum's founder, Beate Uhse.
