There is another reason for that too, apart from it seeming the natural thing to do in the French capital, the City of Light and the city of love, sex, romance and intrigue. The other reason is that the Erotic Museum isn’t sleazy or tacky. It is actually very tastefully done, very slick and modern, and absolutely fascinating.

In Paris there are museums devoted to magic, and to locks, to publicity, to wine, to children and to Edith Piaf. Why not have one devoted to sex and the erotic arts?

The Erotic Museum was opened in 1997 by Joseph Khalifa and two friends of his. They were all collectors of erotic art, and Khalifa had built up a large collection on his travels in Japan and the far east. By combining their collections and acquiring new material they were able to put on display over 1500 exhibits, spread across seven floors of a 19th-century town house.

Rather surprisingly there was no such museum in Paris at the time, and if any city ought to have an erotic museum, it’s Paris. Sex shows and strip shows might be taking place along the road and in the sleazy back streets of Pigalle, but the Erotic Museum is right on the main road and closer physically and in spirit to the great Moulin Rouge cabaret, just the other side of the Blanche metro station.

Graffiti spray paint is sometime up for no reason, but there are those who use it as an art form. Well, either way, you’ll be having tons of fun when spray painting with LEDs (powered by an internal battery that recharges when the can is shaken). Thanks to French artist Aissa Logerot, the idea of painting with lights is possible. Shaped like a bottle of spray paint, the LED light colors are quickly changeable.

That way, your masterpiece doesn’t have to be in one color. I would love to have one of these to just draw on the wall with at night. This is a pretty cool idea for graffiti enthusiasts who are looking to have fun in a safe and legal way. Plus you won’t be inhaling all those toxic fumes. That’s a reason alone to get these.
