About

What was this 17th-century building originally built for? Over time, exhibitions on the themes of sexuality and sensual allure gave the space a new identity. Walking from room to room, visitors encounter the history and culture of sexuality through the names of figures such as Mata Hari, Oscar Wilde, and the Marquis de Sade. Composed of photographs, paintings, and objects, the exhibits draw visitors into deeper reflection on sexuality, beyond mere visual experience. This is not simply an exhibition space but a forum exploring how human desire and its expression have taken shape across time and culture. Here, visitors gain an unfamiliar perspective on sexuality, and the space also becomes an occasion for self-reflection.
