Venus de Milo, Liberty leading the people, Lady Godiva ... and next?
Nudity has been a staple of the visual arts since time began, but apparently the real thing is still too much for some people to handle.
On Wednesday, a 26-year-old model was arrested in New York after posing for a photo shoot at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Police said Kathleen Neill was posing naked for a photographer
"She didn't do anything sexual. She didn't perform lewdly and she made no reference to her genitalia," Schechter said in an interview with Culture Monster.
"There are nude sculptures and paintings all over the museum. It's the height of stupidity accusing a live model of showing the same thing in a house of art."

The problem was that there was no warning. So families with kids were walking in and witnessing it.
Yes, Americans are still prudes. But parents also have a right to decide what they want thier kids to see. If there had been a warning, it may not have been such an issue. But there wasn't, and it was a shock to many.

There is nothing obscene with the nude body.
But that doesn't mean that you have the right to drop your pants anyplace you feel like.

Just a question, not an arguement.
does that mean none of you would have a problem with your significant other standing nude in public? Especially for display?

If you read the article, the photographer did not even have permission to do the shoot.
