The Erotic Art Museum is a museum for erotic art in Hamburg . The museum is located at Bernhard-Nocht-Straße 79 in the St. Pauli district.

The museum was opened in November 1992 at Bernhard-Nocht-Straße 69. In 1997 it moved to Nobistor and for the 10th anniversary in 2002 it moved back to the old house on Bernhard-Nocht-Straße with 2000 square meters of exhibition space.

The museum's collection at that time comprised more than 1000 works of art from the 6th century to the present day. a. Works by George Grosz , Otto Dix , Pablo Picasso , Keith Haring and Tomi Ungerer . In addition to the permanent exhibitions, there were also temporary exhibitions. It had two million visitors until it closed in 2007.

The Erotic Art Museum opened in April 2018 and is a place for international erotic art with close links to artists from St. Pauli. The face-to-face exhibition includes works by the collage artist Friedrich Frahm and the erotic photographs of the renowned photographer Günter Zint.

Remains of the collection of the "old" Erotic Art Museum

In 2005, a collection of approx. 1,200 works by the Hamburg artist Friedrich “Fiete” Frahm was exhibited in a special area of ​​200 square meters in the basement of the Erotic Art Museum. The museum closed in 2007, but Friedrich Frahm was allowed to continue exhibiting his works in the same place and continue to use the name Erotic Art Museum. In 2012 Frahm moved its factories to Bernhard-Nocht-Straße 75-79 as part of a new development of the area. In these new rooms, right next to the original entrance of the Erotic Art Museum, about 650 of his collages can be seen in a permanent exhibition, which have the local color of St. Paulis as their theme, which the artist varies in a bizarre and humorous way. Friedrich Frahm died on January 7, 2015.

The whereabouts of the original museum collection is unclear after a legal dispute between the founder and operator of the museum Claus Becker and the GGS Grundstücksgesellschaft Stellingen von Burim Osmani , which acquired the museum building after a foreclosure auction.

The museum was reopened in 2018. It shows works by Günter Zint and Fiete Frahm , among others .
