LASVEGAS (August 7, 2019) — The Erotic Heritage Museum opens their brand-new exhibit, Voluptuous Panic: The Erotic World of Weimar Berlin on August 17, 2019. Based on the book of the same name by scholar, activist, archivist, writer and teacher, Mel Gordon, this new exhibit celebrates sexual positivity in the years before Hitler’s reign. 

Based on Gordon’s book, Voluptuous Panic: The Erotic World of Weimar Berlin, the EHM’s sprawling exhibit explores the care-free sexual times in Germany between the years 1918 to 1933, often referred to as the time of the Weimar Republic. From just after WWI to just before what would become one of the most repressive and destructive regimes ever seen on the planet, Weimer’s Berlin was a time especially ripe with sexual researchers, hedonistic partiers, family-friendly nudist colonies…and the curious onlookers that always orbit such expression. This new exhibit, which contains scholarly notes, books, magazines, posters and photos Gordon collected joins both the permanent and changing array of significant historical accounts of positive sexuality and freedom the Erotic Heritage Museum consistently displays to the public. 

In addition to the many artifacts gleaned from the treasure trove of Mel Gordon’s collection, the Voluptuous Panic: The Erotic World o f Weimar Berlin exhibition also features newly discovered works by the father of Sexology, Magnus Hirschfeld.

“Surely, people are wellacquainted with the movie Cabaret,and have probably seen or read about some of what was happening in Berlin just before Hitler came to power,” Dr. Victoria Hartmann, the EHM director says. "But what Mel Gordon studied, and what this exhibit reiterates is what a fresh and free cultural spirit Berlin presented to the German people at the time. Hitler did his best to stamp out that spirit, burning great works of art, censoring pretty much all expression not in lock-step with his insane vision. The EHM was created to champion, explore and celebrate the spirit of free and positive sexual expression as seen in Berlin, and lovingly championed throughout Mel Gordon’s work.”
