Miami Beach grandmother opens erotica museum (...and my Nana had Hummel figurines?)
A recent news story announced that Naomi Wilzig, a 71-year-old woman in Miami Beach has recently opened the World Erotic Art Museum, the only wholly private collection of erotic art on display. For more than 15 years, Wilzig has been collecting pieces of erotic art from around the world. Among the most talked about items in the collection are a plaque of vaginas, a penis chair and a bed carved with sexually-explicit images.
Now I don’t know what your grandmother’s house was like, but I like to imagine what it was like for her grandchildren to visit Grandma Wilzig's house. She must have been the coolest, most popular grandparent on the block! Or perhaps all of the items were stashed away behind a false wall of canned fruit and jams?
And what about my own grandmother? Could I have misjudged her all of these years? During those alleged trips out with her Sassy Seniors dance group was she, in fact, traveling the world as an internationally renowned erotic art aficionado?
I'm sure all of our grandparents have secrets. I'd like to imagine that my Nana's secrets are even half as delicious as this.
