The collecting of "erotic" artifacts in 19th century Egyptology reveals the ways in which museums constructed knowledge around sex and grappled with sexual content in relation to the perceived value of artifacts. By looking at two types of artifacts, those with an overt sexual nature or meaning, and those which have been transformed to have an erotic intention in the context of a museum collection, this thesis explores how the commodification of museum objects impact perceptions and treatment of ancient Egyptian "erotic" material culture. This thesis uses the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology in London, England as a case study for synthesizing an erotohistoriographic analysis into the biography of an object due to its unique context of colonial intervention, Victorian sexual mores, collecting habits and motivations of its founders, Amelia Edwards and Sir W.M Flinders Petrie, at a moment in Egyptology's infancy as a "scientific" field. Centering pleasure in the study of erotic artifacts reveals new epistemological potential in both Egyptology and Museology.
