FREE ADMISSION: "THE NAKED TRUTH"


Naked or scantily clad people wandered among the marble nudes at Vienna's prestigious Leopold Museum, lured by an offer of free entry to "The Naked Truth," an exhibition of early-1900's erotic art, if they showed up wearing nothing, or in a swimsuit. This was to help people cope with a heat wave in the city and to create a mini-scandal reniniscent of the way the artworks of Gustav Klimt and others shocked the public when they were unveiled a century ago. Posted by Picasa
