Erotic Heritage Museum to Feature Tranny Photography, Line Drawings of Penises In case you were too busy commenting on threats made to Caleb Carter's life to notice, news arrived this week of the upcoming opening of The Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas. Founded by adult entertainment mogul Harry Mohney and Ted McIlvenna—the man behind the sexology foundation called The Exodus Trust--the museum has lofty goals beyond the assumed collection of French "art" porn from the 60s and a glass case full of artisanal and antique dildos.
 To wit: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 through a common visual language. Well then! We suppose that the man golfing with his penis at right would be folk art? As for the ink line painting of an erect penis by Francois Dubeau below... now that's art. We are fully in support of the museum's conservation mission—especially if it helps to preserve hard-to-find gay erotica from the early and mid- 20th Century. And we're actually big fans of one of the photography exhibitions that will be featured during the museum's August 3rd public opening: Keith Murray's "Trannylicious Dishez," two pieces from we have for you also, below. (Click to enlarge.)   
If you're headed to Vegas, check out the museum at 3275 Industrial Road, Las Vegas.
