Английская Википедия:Erotic Heritage Museum
The Erotic Heritage Museum (EHM) is a Шаблон:Convert space with Шаблон:Convert dedicated to the history of erotica, located in Las Vegas.[1] The grand patron of the museum is Harry Mohney, founder of Déjà Vu.[2] The Erotic Heritage Museum is an educational, performance, and exhibit space, where various retail items are sold in the lobby. The museum hosts readings, symposia, and "meet and greets" of notables in the world of sexual education and art.
History
The museum opened on August 2, 2008,[2] ceased operations for a brief restructuring on February 19, 2014, and reopened on June 7, 2014, as Harry Mohney's Erotica Museum.[3] The museum is managed by Harry Mohney Erotic Museum LLC, a Nevada corporation.
Collection
The Harry Mohney Erotic Museum's sole purpose is to perform educational, scientific, and literary functions relating to sexual, emotional, mental, and physical health. Historical and contemporary erotic materials donated to the Harry Mohney Erotic Museum may be sold by the artist or collection holder, or made available on loan from individual artists for viewing in accordance with federal law.
The museum seeks to bridge the gap between that which is commercial and often misidentified as pornographic, with that which is aesthetic, often identified as folk, pop, and fine art. In keeping with the legacy of the American sexual revolution, the museum is dedicated to the belief that sexual pleasure and fun are natural aspects of the human experience, that such pleasure should be made available to all, and that our individual sexuality belongs to each of us.
