Today marks WEAM's 20th anniversary! The World Erotic Art Museum officially opened its doors for the first time on October 15th, 2005. For the last 20 years, WEAM has been a hub for erotic art, sexual expression, and education.
Two decades ago, Naomi Wilzig opened WEAM with a bold vision: to celebrate both the sensual and the provocative, and to give erotic art a home here in Miami Beach’s cultural landscape. Over the years, WEAM grew from a personal collection to a respected institution, hosting world-class exhibitions, lectures, and performances that challenge taboos and expand our conversations about sexuality, identity, and creative freedom.
Naomi Wilzig believed that erotic expression is part of what it means to be human. Today, we celebrate her legacy, and we honor her courage, her passion, and her commitment to making a space for voices and images that often fit nowhere else.
Here’s to 20 years of beauty, curiosity, and pushing the boundaries. May WEAM continue to inspire, provoke, and cultivate a deeper understanding of erotic imagination for many decades to come!
