Museum of Erotics and Mythology of Brussels (MEM) — Attraction in Brussels

The concept seemed intriguing and the allure of having to ring a bell to gain entry was exciting, but unfortunately this is where the fun stopped. To call this place a "museum" is misleading - it is more of a "small personal collection of artifacts in someone's house." Very little information given on any of the artifacts - was quite often just a country and a date. This gives no information on the history of the piece, nor the artist. Also disappointing to see so much ivory on display. I understand these are historical pieces when carving ivory was generally accepted, however I would not have visited this place had I known.

Save your money and visit one of the other dozens of museums...

This is less of a museum and more of a private collection. The exhibits lack any context besides their title, place of origin and date and for most of them the 2 curators can't tell you much more than a cursory 20 seconds Google search would. In short this is more of a collection for hardcore enthusiasts and researchers who already know what they're looking at than laymen who have just been titillated by the name of the museum.

Along with it only being 2 rooms and a staircase large, the price of 10€ becomes inexcusable. I would much rather recommend spending the same amount of money to see a world class exhibit...

This museum has a very interesting premise, but could be made so much better with just a little extra work. They do provide you with a folder of information, but for the majority of objects, this just shows the country and date. It would be greif they would add some more information regarding the use or origin of the objects, what they depict and what their cultural significance was. Still, ita very well curated museum with over 600 objects on display and well...
