World Erotic Art Museum
Funny story. There was this Jewish lady of a certain age in New Jersey whose son asked her to find him some sexy art for his bachelor pad, and guess what? He nixed the painting because it was too tasteful! Meanwhile, mom had become intrigued by art dealing with human sexuality. Eventually Naomi Wilzig’s collection grew to thousands, and she decided to share it with the world. Alas, Wilzig has passed away, but her Miami Beach museum lives on. It's an impressive mix of museum-quality fine and folk art with pop-culture objects (such as the notorious white phallus sculpture from A Clockwork Orange) and, yes, the occasional comic relief (Mickey Mouse, is that you?). You’ll spot names such as Picasso, Gauguin, Botero, Dalí, and Miró, along with exquisite artifacts from antiquity and special exhibitions.
