Visitors will journey through the tension between concealment and revelation, desire and seduction, love and contemplation. Eroticism – Beyond beauty and shame extends beyond traditional themes of beauty, shame, arousal, and sex; it encapsulates love, lust, and the taboos that intertwine with these elements. By showcasing both classical and contemporary works, the exhibition invites viewers to explore the many layers of eroticism and its evolving, universal significance.
Featuring pieces from regional Limburg collections and internationally renowned works, the exhibition offers a platform for personal interpretation. Each artwork invites reflection on the dynamic and multifaceted nature of eroticism, revealing its role in shaping individual and collective narratives across time and cultures.
