Erotic Museum of Barcelona
Barcelona’s most sensual spot
Do you want to visit the only museum of its kind in Spain? Marilyn Monroe sporting her famous white dress is waiting on the balcony of the Erotic Museum of Barcelona to lead you on a journey through the world of erotica. Located in the heart of La Rambla, it has a collection of more than 800 pieces that show how different cultures and civilisations have represented, both implicitly and explicitly, human sexuality throughout history. In addition to the collection, the museum also has an erotic garden where visitors can have a rest surrounded by nature’s most sensual plants in the centre of the provocative city of Barcelona.
How do you get to the Erotic Museum of Barcelona?
Hop off at the Plaça Catalunya stop on the Blue and Red Routes of Barcelona Bus Turístic. Simply walk down La Rambla and on the left, opposite La Boqueria Market, you will see the figure of Marilyn Monroe on the building’s balcony inviting you inside.
