LAS VEGAS (6/13/25) – The exhibit of acclaimed artist Luis Royo and his son Romulo Royo has been extended for an indefinite run at the Royo Gallery inside Harry Mohney’s Erotic Heritage Museum.
Originally debuting in August 2023, the Royo Art Exhibit was moved to a dedicated 500 sq. ft. gallery space at the museum in June 2024. As of this week, the Erotic Heritage Museum has announced an open-ended “residency” for the exhibit, with the added option for patrons to purchase any piece on display during their visit.
“The EHM was incredibly honored to have first secured the Luis and Romulo installation, then further thrilled to have been able to dedicate a specific gallery to these talented artists,” said the museum’s director, Dr. Victoria Hartmann.
“By extending the exhibit indefinitely now, as well as being able to offer visitors the chance to buy the artwork right off our walls, we feel we are truly championing these master artists with the full facility of all that the museum can offer.”
Regular museum admission includes access to the Royo Gallery, as it does for all other exhibitions at the Erotic Heritage Museum.
ABOUT LUIS ROYO
Luis Royo was born in 1954 in Olalla, Teruel in Spain. In 1972, he started to exhibit his paintings and in 1980 began publishing his comics in magazines like 1984, Rambla, El Víbora, and Heavy Metal. Three years later, Luis began to focus on illustration, the area in which he was to be most successful.
Luis has illustrated book covers for such prestigious publishers as Tor Book, Berkley Books, Avon, Warner Books, and Batman Books, in magazines like National Lampoon, Cómic Art, Ere Comprime, and Total Metal. He has also designed video cases for the video games Game Over, Turbo Girl, and Navy Moves.
Luis has exhibited and published his work at art shows and galleries, and across varied publications in France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Russia, and the USA, and has been awarded numerous prizes, including the Spectrum Silver Award (The Best in Contemporary, Fantastic Art), the Peregrino Fantasy Prize in CTPAHHNK, and Fumetto Cartoomics Millenium award.
ABOUT ROMULO ROYO
Luis’ son Romulo is a celebrated artist in his own right. His unique and distinctive pictorial language intertwines classical mythology and cinematic fantasy with illustration and comics from the 1970s and 1980s, reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective.
Since the beginning of the new century, Romulo’s work has been exhibited in various private collections, through foundations and museums, like Art Forum Berlin, FIAC, Los Angeles Art Show, CIGE Beijing China, ART International Instanbul, magazines, and books.
In 2009 Romulo collaborated with his father on the large format paintings for the oriental-tinged Dead Moon book, published worldwide together with an I-Ching deck with his images, among other multimedia products.
ABOUT THE EROTIC HERITAGE MUSEUM
The Erotic Heritage Museum houses more than 24,000 square feet of permanent and featured exhibits, championing the wonders of erotic imagination as depicted through artistic expressions of sex and love. With so much global erotic heritage undervalued, criticized, or even lost over time, the EHM is dedicated to the preservation of as much erotic heritage as is possible to display.
Scouring the world for its exhibitions, The Harry Mohney Erotic Museum furthers its purpose by providing space for scientific and literary functions relating to sexual, emotional, mental, and physical health. As such, the EHM is as much an assemblage of some of the most important sexual artifacts, tableau, and interactive exhibitions in the world as it is a one-of-a-kind lecture and classroom space.
In addition to the Museum space, the EHM’s main theatre is home to the highly popular live show, “Puppetry of the Penis,” as well as film festivals, burlesque shows, and more.
The Erotic Heritage Museum is located at 3275 Sammy Davis Jr Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89109.
