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-1900s erotic art, if they showed up in a swimsuit or nothing.
Peter Weinhaeupl, the commercial director of the Leopold, said the goal was twofold: to help people cope with a heat wave in the city and to create a mini-scandal reminiscent of the way the artworks of Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka and others shocked the public when they were unveiled a century ago.
