Historical and contemporary erotic materials donated to the Harry Mohney Erotic Museum may be sold by the artist or collection holder, or made available on loan from individual artists for viewing in accordance with federal law.

The museum seeks to bridge the gap between that which is commercial and often misidentified as pornographic, with that which is aesthetic, often identified as folk, pop, and fine art. In keeping with the legacy of the American sexual revolution, the museum is dedicated to the belief that sexual pleasure and fun are natural aspects of the human experience, that such pleasure should be made available to all, and that our individual sexuality belongs to each of us.

The Erotic Heritage Museum features the following displays:

Worlds Largest Erotic Bicycle

Academic reviews of Human Sexuality Studies

Erotically themed photographs, sketches, paintings

Wall of Shame: Articles about Political, Religious or Celebrity Personalities Connected to Scandals

Jay Losofsky Sculptures

The Chicken Ranch Exhibit

The Auto-Erotic Chair

The Star Wars Exhibit

The Revolutionaries of Sex Exhibit

Celebrity Scandal Video Room

The Fithian Collection

Historic artifacts

Porcelain figurines

Erotic Sculptures

Also Rotating Exhibits

The second floor is mainly devoted to erotic art, some of it available for sale. The presented pieces range from classic to abstract and include paintings, sketches, watercolors, porcelain figurines, sculptures, and carved wood objects. ^[5]
