Nude Model Arrested In NYC Museum
"It seems the only nudes allowed at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art are the ones in the collection."
"Defense attorney Donald Schechter says the museum is full of nude art, and to call what the model and her photographer were doing obscenity 'is ridiculous.'"
Of course, the real issue this incident raises that of object rights. That museum is full of statues who are completely unable to dress themselves, and have been put on display nude. Don't they have the right to be just as covered up as the people who walk the museum freely?
