After successful nude evenings in 2017 and 2018, Kunsthal again offered a Naked Tour this year, this time as part of the exhibition "I'm your mirror" featuring art of the Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos.
Dutch newspaper ‘Algemeen Dagblad’ (AD) reported on Monday in an article “In je blootje door de Kunsthal: kijken naar de expositie en een beetje naar elkaar” with photo and video. “We wanted to experience something different than usually.”, explained Julia Frickl, visitor of the special evening opening time, to the newspaper. “You make yourself very vulnerable, looking at art and being in the nude. And let's be honest – of course you also want to see some nude bodies.” Roland van der Kleij, who has already taken part in all the previous Naked Tours, finds it pleasant, according to the newspaper report, to be among “like-minded people”: “The distance between people is smaller this way.”
In that exhibition, the regional museum has shown nudes from the estate of the photographer Siegfried Haase until 26 May 2019, entitled “s c h ö N a c k t – Aktfotografie Siegfried Haase”.

Musée d'Art de la Ville de Luxembourg 
exhibited ‘Plakeg! Le Nu autour de 1900’ [en: Plakeg! The nude around 1900]’ from 16 March to 16 June in Villa Vauban: “Towards the end of the 19th century there was a fundamental change in the perception of the nude. A generation of young, avant-garde artists wanted to break with the academic traditions of depicting the nude body.”
The museum offers one-hour guided tours in several languages for naturist visitor groups on all days except Tuesdays by appointment. The opportunity to undress in the museum (and get dressed again after the tour) is offered. In addition to the entrance fee for a ‘tarif réduit’ (villavauban.lu) [en: reduced tariff], the (max. 15) participants of the guided tour must pay the fee for the art guide (100 EUR).

The Palais de Tokyo, a museum of 
contemporary art on the right bank of the Seine in Paris, had invited for a matinée on 5 May, where the museum visitors should show up in a naturist outfit.
The offer appeared so tempting to so many people, that the contingent of 161 tickets quickly attracted over 26,000 interested people. The motto "The banalisation of nudity should not be limited to the beach" addressed many people immediately.

The nude guided tours through Art Cologne with the artist are likely to be spectacular, with the public excluded. Only those, who accept to take part in the guided tour totally nude, may participate. Ringholt has already performed at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney and the National Gallery of Art in Canberra.

“I was wearing two days of stubble on my chin, a squirt of cologne and nothing else. My wife was wearing hot red lipstick, magenta nail polish on her toenails and around her neck, a pink pearl pendant suspended from a fine gold chain. It glowed against her honey-colored skin. We stood side-by-side, holding hands, naked, along with 60 other souls who had signed up for an after-hours tour of the new galleries at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA). Curiously, neither of us felt any embarrassment.”
