The private DMK Erotic Art Museum is one of the leading private collections in the field of erotic art. It is based on the collection of Roger Peyrefitte, Paris, and founded by the German art collector D.M. Klinger, who published more than 60 volumes of bibliophile books since 1982 including approximately 15,000 illustrations on the subject. It includes 4,500 art objects, antiquities and photographs dating back to 3500 B.C. and modern, pop-culture. Until 2006, the collection was not open to the public.
