The Naomi WEAM – The Eroticism of Things: Collections on the History of Sexuality 
The exhibition The Eroticism of Things traces the material and immaterial production of
eroticism. Using examples culled from the collections of sexologists Magnus Hirschfeld and
Alfred Kinsey, as well as from Naomi Wilzig’s art collection, it sheds light on differing natures of
and intents in collecting, classifying, presenting, and interpreting erotic things. This is a joint
exhibition by the Research Center for the Cultural History of Sexuality at Humboldt University,
Berlin and the Werkbundarchiv – Museum der Dinge. Produced in collaboration with the Kinsey
Institute and The Naomi WEAM.
