World Art Erotica On Television
The museum and its curator Mojo Mustapha have been featured in television programs across North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and Australasia. The museum's approach to erotic art as cultural heritage rather than pornography made it an appealing subject for broadcasters exploring human sexuality through an educational and historical lens.

These reviews came from the early days of the internet, when World Art Erotica was among the first sites to treat erotic art as a serious cultural and historical subject. The museum has grown considerably since then, with curated galleries now spanning ancient erotica, Chinese erotic painting, 19th-century French erotica, classical German erotica, and much more. A selection of works is also available as royalty-free erotic art for creative and educational use.
If these reviews have made you curious, the best way to see what all the fuss is about is to step inside the museum yourself.
