Australia Museum Offers Nude Art Tours of Exhibition for Exhibitionists
As in, the art viewers are the ones who are naked.
— -- There's plenty of beautiful nude art worth viewing.
But is it worth viewing art in the nude?
If ticket sales are any indication, it seems so. The three days the National Gallery of Australia will offer nude tours of a current exhibit are already sold out.
Nude tours of "James Turell: A Retrospective" will take place from April 1-3.
Turell is an American artist whose medium is light. His works addresses light and perception and he is most-known for what's referred to as his "life's work."
The nude tours are for guests 18 and older only. They will be led by Stuart Ringholt, an Australian artist, who has led nude tours at Australia's Museum of Contemporary Art.
Participants, according to the National Gallery's web site, will arrive and leave nude. Ringholt will also be nude, though other museum staff will be clothed. Following the tour, there will be a coffee and cocktail reception, also in the nude.
