You’ll wander through 14 rooms in Barcelona’s Erotic Museum with an audioguide and a glass of champagne in hand. Expect laughter, surprise details from over 800 pieces, gentle guidance from friendly staff, and a quirky souvenir to take home—plus maybe a new perspective on what’s considered “normal.”
We were already giggling before we even got our tickets at the Erotic Museum of Barcelona — I mean, you can’t help it, especially when there’s a giant mannequin in lingerie winking at you from the window. The staff handed us our audioguides and a glass of cold cava (champagne? close enough), which honestly helped me relax about what we were about to see. The place smells faintly sweet, like old wood and something floral I couldn’t quite place. There’s this hum of people whispering in different languages as you start wandering through the first room — it made me feel both shy and weirdly at home.
I didn’t expect to learn so much about how erotic art pops up everywhere — Roman statues, Japanese shunga prints, even some wild Victorian gadgets that made us laugh out loud. Our audioguide was surprisingly candid; it pointed out little details I’d have missed otherwise (like how one painting hid more than it showed). At one point, my partner tried to pronounce “Museu de l’Erotica” like a local and totally butchered it — the woman at the entrance just grinned and corrected him gently. People here seem used to tourists being awkward, which is comforting in its own way.
By the time we reached the last room (there are fourteen total), I was kind of overwhelmed by how open-minded Barcelona feels about all this. There’s something freeing about seeing centuries of sexuality displayed without shame or apology — plus you get a silly little souvenir on your way out. We left still debating which piece was our favorite (I’m team ancient Greek vase; he liked the neon-lit sculpture), but honestly, I keep thinking about how normal it all felt by the end. Maybe that’s what stuck with me most.
