LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

A rare book collection and unique art will be unveiled at the Erotic Heritage Museum.

An "Aphrodite Unveiling" reception for the public is July 9, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

The cost of admission is $25.00 and refreshments will be served.

The Erotic Heritage Museum is located at 3275 Industrial Road.

The "sexological" collection of books and art comes from an anonymous donor.

Myseum officials will provide a reading room in the future for scholars to study and research material found in the books.

For now, guests are just asked to wear vinyl gloves while examining the rare books.
