Very small museum. You will be totally baffled without much advance knowledge; there are no deep historical and cultural narratives that one would expect in a "world museum," although if you have some advanced knowledge you will appreciate several world-class items. The wall of vulvas includes some interesting examples of post-transition-surgery results, but if you don't know the history of gender-transition surgery,, you won't even recognize them. Some miniature items are behind deep platforms, so one cannot examine the details. And, even with some knowledge of art history, for most items on exhibit I could not figure out why they were there. But it is cheap just $ 15., and near the beach and good places to eat, and does have some things worth seeing.
Really cool collection! The front desk employee was super helpful and thorough.. There were three different collections when we visited. They seemed rather random in relation to each other but all were really interesting and we definitely enjoyed the experience. One of my favorite pieces was the phallic sculpture that was in A Clockwork Orange film! The only off putting thing was that there was a private security room upstairs in the midst of the collections. An employee in the room was blasting music extremely loud and also singing along with it super loud and crazy. It was pretty strange and did interfere with the atmosphere of enjoying the collections. The price of admission is $20/person, which I feel is a little steep for the type of collections they had. But I do understand that museums are not huge money makers and I'm sure they are even more challenged with pandemic so we were fine to pay that much. It's also pretty cool that you're allowed to take photos in the museum with the art :
Such a fun visit! We are coming off a cruise and had the day to spend in Miami. Afterwards I was ready to be naked and lying back on the beach. A good stop for the open minded. Really nice art!! Amazing history too. We spend 2-3 hours here.
Good museum with an interesting and quite unique collection. The man at the front desk was friendly and very helpful. Only negative is that, at $30 for admission, it's definitely overpriced, especially compared to other museums in the area.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$21–30
This was an amazing visit. We were skeptical about a museum dedicated to the erotic, but it turned out to be very interesting and insightful. The amount if erotic art on display is mind boggling.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$16–20
Super fun for a honeymoon stop. I thought the price was a little steep but we really got to see a lot and really enjoyed ourselves. Also there was some kind of private party with a woman talking about exploration of all things sex and it was lovely to see and hear the openness.
It's a very cool place to spend an hour or two if you are on south beach. I enjoyed all the pieces they had there. The only reason I did not give it a full five stars was because of the building and layout of the museum. It is an old and unkempt building and the rooms are too sparce. I felt like this could have been condensed down into a more manageable and much more easily navigable layout.
Where do I start…this museum is interesting lmao. They have all sort of “content”. Some of it can be educational and some other can leave you shocked lolol. I recommend coming here if you’re a local or a tourist, it’s an interesting experience and it’s located at Miami beach. The staff is really nice. Good price and exhibit overall.
I had an amazing time! I love all types of art and when I came across this one I had to rally up the girls to go!!! We're from Cleveland and went to Miami for my friend's 40th birthday. While the art was nice and the vibe was there, I wondered alot about not seeing any brown skinned art. On top of, it was an extreme amount of homosexual pics and statues. I'd like to go to an erotic museum to see all flavors and colors not just pink and pale!
Super interesting place. Definitely worth a visit even if to just get a break from the heat. Lots of interesting exhibits. Got be honest we got a lotta chuckles but that's half the appeal. Don't underestimate this little gem in South Beach go visit it.
