Flying penis windchime (must get one for mother for christmas)
Roman erotic statues which would suit those with a amputee fetish.
A very early example of tentacle sex... the original is beautifully drawn.
Several erotically posed swans!!!! (what is it with swans)?
Lots of Japanese and Chinese art.... loved the tiny red shoes on tiny mutilated feet.
A row of Aubrey Beardsley illustrations.... a chance to get really really really up close and study his inkwork techniques.
A room on surrealism... a couple of man Rays and best of all....oodles of Hans Bellmer.... the most fantastic coloured fine line ink works plus other stuff.
The ickiest thing was a snail re-appearing (?) and a 'thing' with nodules on.
The funniest... facial hair and expressions in the Kinsey collection.
A chance to buy smutty books by the score.....
The place was full of old men.... obviously dirty old men looking at mucky pictures as opposed to nicky and this girl who were there soley for the inkwork techniques.
Silliest oversight.... the upper floor.
Well worth a visit... and if flaire organises a cultural munch there this girl may well revisit to do the upstairs.
