Today I had the pleasure of visiting the World Erotic Art Museum in South Beach, Miami. Amazing!. This collection is only 16 years old, 4 years in the museum and prior to that time in the owner/curator’s home. Naomi Wilzig built this collection after her elder son asked her to purchase some erotic pieces for his home. The rest is history.
I have never seen so many erotic pieces in one site. From huge paintings and sculptures to the tiniest of jeweled carvings. It was rather overwhelming and truly demands several visits. I felt on overload after several hours.
Their website: www.weam.com
If you decide to visit the museum do stop in to say high to Naomi, she is most accessible and truly a lovely woman. Do tell her you heard about the museum through the Erotic Literary Salon Blog.
My favorite piece was a cane, the curved end was a female devil and the straight end of the cane was shaped as a phallus impaling the devil. The carving was spectacular.
Enjoy!
