An Austrian museum says a man took the concept of life imitating
art to an extreme when he suddenly stripped at an exhibition of
pictures and sculptures portraying nude men through the ages.
Vienna's Leopold Museum says that after taking his clothes off, the
man calmly sauntered through the exhibition, dressing again only
after a security guard asked him to do so.
Museum spokesman Klaus Pokorny said Tuesday that the museum had
nothing to do with Saturday's strip, describing it as a
"spontaneous act." He says other visitors did not appear
disturbed.
He said that since its Oct. 19 opening, the "Nude Men" exhibition
had attracted more than 65,000 visitors - all of them dressed
except for one.
