Unlike the more conservative venues like Temecula, CA there are places where combining sex and nudity with art does not erupt in a scandal worthy of national mention.
From the AP story on Yahoo (click link to see picture):
In the name of art, an Austrian landmark is encouraging visitors to confront their sexual inhibitions by having them walk through a swingers club to reach one of Gustav Klimt’s masterpieces.
The Secession — a world-renowned venue for contemporary art in downtown Vienna — has temporarily incorporated a sex club named “Element6″ as part of a project by Swiss artist Christoph Buechel.
Granted, the secession building is not a government venue and the exhibit is open only to those 18 or older, but the unabashed willingness to acknowledge sex as a perfectly legitimate topic of art notable.
In the words of Marlene Dietrich, “In America sex is an obsession, in other parts of the world it is a fact.”
