Art leads us to question ourselves, to take another look at the world around us... it's true. But art is also about beauty. In the heart of Paris, there's a very special cultural venue that celebrates the beauty of the body. Welcome to Au Bonheur du Jour, the art gallery specializing in eroticism.
Here we find works mainly from the 19th and 20th centuries. Photographs, paintings, drawings- the well-known and lesser-known artists on display here celebrate the male and female body in all its forms. From bodybuilders with Apollo physiques to feminine curves, from the most passionate sections of Paris history to clichés from beyond our borders, this art gallery is a veritable embassy of eroticism in art.
We can immerse ourselves in the world of brothels, perceive fetishism as an art form or rediscover the art of transformism. Here we discover that beauty has no defined codes, and that's a lesson we can learn to love ourselves. Beyond the art gallery, Au Bonheur du Jour is also a cabinet of curiosities where you can find little-known or unusual erotic objects that allow us to discover the practices and other accessories linked to our intimacy from a historical point of view.
