    With champagne €13, without €10
    This was some experience! Every room has his own topic e.g. fetishism, Kama-sutra, the first Spanish porn… There are a lot of interesting facts you learn. This museum is enjoyabke for a rainy afternoon. It is something else you won’t experience easily another time. They’ve made it very well. You can spend around 2 hours in here. You also get a free gift if you write a review :)) . It wasn’t crowded at all. Take notice: when you come in they charge you 13 euros for entrance plus champagne. You have to ask yourself for no champagne and then you pay €10!!! Also the museum is open until 22:00 or 23:00 (depending on the day), so you can do it on a late evening.

    Popped in for a look
    I read about this place before I came to Barcelona and thought I would pop in. The ticket was €10 which was perhaps a little steep although it is a very unique experience. The lady at the entrance was friendly and told me to follow the signs on the floor as I go round. There was a lot of information to go with the exhibits and in all different languages. It was very interesting to see things that you never knew existed through the ages! It took me about 45 minutes to go round on my own reading all the signs, would definitely say it's an interesting place to go and have a little nosey and if your with friends go and have a giggle. They have a well stocked shop at the end too.
    Thank you for the time you spend writing this review. We are glad that all our work is worth it and you like it. Hope to see you soon!

    Great museum, shame about staff at the door
    Enjoyed the museum. So much to see and interesting history. Got to see art of two greats. Very interesting place. My kind of scene. Only problem was entry. Was ignored then when walked past the worker she stopped her call, said it isn’t free….well if you ignore people and don’t look at me as I’m trying to eye contact and talk loudly on the phone. Maybe I would just think to go up. I had never been before. I don’t know how it works. Get off your phone! Bad customer service. Aside from the hard work of getting two tickets. The museum itself is worth a visit if you’re into erotica.

The exhibition shows almost exclusively content for white, cis and straight people. Fair enough, even though we are living in 2022 and a little bit inclusion goes without saying.
What is most shocking: the blatant racism! They screen a German cartoon (title? No descriptions on any piece or artefact in this collection, about its provenance etc.) that continues the dehumanising gaze on people of African descent. Without any explanation this Film ist very much visible in the only resting area! You sit down and have to watch this! We also did hear other people leaving the room being disgusted by this racist film.

Dear guest, thank you for taking your time expressing your opinion about the museum, however we don't see any of your complaints on the museum media, since every object and film that the museum provides is approved by legislation, and our content is taken into very deep consideration regarding any issues that it may arise. But since everyone is free to voice their own opinion, and we are more than happy to hear from our customers, I invite you to contact us about what you considerate racist and how would you improve or perceive the inclusivity inside the museum. Please feel free to contact me directly, and if suitable schedule a visit to talk about the issues addressed in this review, so we can understand our customers better and improve their experiences. Thank you, Sarah R., Director of the museum

Interesting to amble around the various floors, accompanied by a glass of Cava that was on offer for just €1 extra.

With paintings, frescoes, sculptures, photos and posters the potent motivator is well displayed and explained. Art works over multitudes of centuries from all societies attest to the eternal and enduring interest.

We had the best time at the museum. It was informing and entertaining at the same time. Take your time to look at everything carefully, it‘s worth it. Staff was very friendly. Only thing we would optimize is more museum related merch in the gift shop but other than that a highlight of our trip!

learn and see a lot of erotic from the past to the present. Spend an hour or so and visit this museum upstairs in a former apartment. Much to see, sometimes too much stuff making the museum full and overload. Get out with a smile.

We saw this museum while walking down La Rambla and decided to go in. It was quite small but wasn’t too busy. We found it both funny and interesting. It is full of very graphic images but the information about the history of erotica was fascinating, and it was provided in several different languages. Definitely worth the visit.

On first glance when stepping into the Erotic Museum you’ll get a sense of the tackiness with multiple gigantic penises to greet you. However, upon closer review, this place actually has a lot of very interesting and educational information about the history of sex/erotica across multiple cultures. Most visitors do a quick walk through with giggles. But take the time to read the summaries that accompany most of the photographs. This is where the interesting information can be found.

My trip to Barcelona had a few unexpected twists, I must say. When a friend of mine couldn't get a train to come from Sevilla to meet me, I had to cut my trip short. Thus, I planned out a detailed itinerary for myself. I walked 13 hours a day for three days, and found that there were plenty of amazing things to see on Las Ramblas, including El Museo de la Erotica. Being as open-minded and independant as a 22-year old college student could be, I paid the entrance fee and walked around the "museum". Note: Touring a museum full of American, European, Indian, and Chinese pornographic relics can be a bit embarrassing for one person to handle. While interesting, I kind of felt like a pervert going at it by myself. If you're going to go, bring at least one friend. It will at least provide you with someone to giggle with and take your picture next to the 6-foot tall, wooden falice! With a friend, I would have felt much more comfortable sitting in the darkened screening room that showed silent, black-and-white porn from the 1940's.

Only in Barcelona, right?

Great, quirky museum for those choosing to go off the beaten path. How many people can say they've been to an Erotic Museum anyway?

Where do we start!, complete waste of time and money. Basically it was pictures on a wall with text beside them. Very few artafacts. Whole experience lasted 5 minutes, wasnt enough stuff there. Free drink my bum! that never happened! . All in all it made me feel like I had walked into the biggest tourist trap in barcelona where they helped me to empty my pockets . Stay away ! just throw your money on the ground - at least you won't feel you have been robbed

I've seen the recommendation about this place on a page on Facebook that I love! So I've decided to check it out, and my experience couldn't be worse!
We bought the entrances on the internet at their official web site, and as you can see at the picture the promise was "2 entrances + Bottle of cava + guided visit + gifts!"!
We've arrived there, and there was nothing but a GLASS of cava and the entrances! No bottle, no guided visit, no gifts!
To make it even worst the place is absolutely AWFUL! It was the worst museum I've ever been! Buying a playboy or watching a porno movie would've been better than visiting this place.Please do not waste your time!
At the end of the visit I went to the reception to show them their mistake! The girl who talked to me was nice, but she didn't have an answer or feedback to give me! The only thing she said was that they need previous information about guided visit in order to arrange it, what I absolutely understand, bit then they should write a warning about it when you buy the tickets!

I left absolutely frustrated!
