A prominent Vienna museum has decided to cover the “intimate parts” of three naked male soccer players on big posters put up in the Austrian capital after they caused an outcry.
“We got many, many complaints,” Leopold Museum spokesman Klaus Pokorny said about the public display of the placards used to advertise its Naked Men exhibition due to open on Friday. “We didn’t realise that many, many people would be really upset or really angry in a way that we are also afraid about security, about protection of the visitors of the museum.” He said a red paper stripe would be used to hide the genitalia on roughly 180 large posters in Vienna.
