French Erotic Art Exhibit

French Library Erotic art

From Times Online via World Sex News Daily:
Secret archive of erotic art is exposed for the first time
“Tales and pictures of naughty nuns, lustful queens and randy noblemen go on display for the first time today when the French National Library unlocks its secret archive of erotic art.

The show of 350 works, ranging from manuscripts by the Marquis de Sade to early pornographic photography, is causing a stir because the library’s trove of licentious literature – known as L’Enfer (Hell) – has been the stuff of fantasy since the early 19th century.”

“Marc Lambron, a novelist, said that a visit to the show, which is closed to visitors under 16, was a lesson for those who believe that good morals dominated the past. “Enter these ancestral grottos and you will gauge the scale of that lie,” he wrote.”

This looks like a great exhibit! And it’s always good to remind people that our ancestors were just as kinky, if not more so, than we are today.
