Don't Do This At The Musée d'Orsay, Kids (or at like, any museum)

Manet’s Olympia is controversial even to this day. And I mean really, actually to this day…as recent as January 2016. Luxembourg artist Deborah de Robertis was arrested for posing nude next to the very painting in Paris’s Musée d’Orsay. De Robertis’s lawyer Tewfik Bouzenoune (cool name) said she “was wearing a portable camera to film the public’s reaction. It was an artistic performance.” Security guards responded by closing the room and asking her to to get dressed. She refused and the police were called to remove her. I honestly wonder what possessed her to do this, and in public nonetheless. I understand people, especially artists, today drawing inspiration from classic works but not to the point where a person or an artist would want attention for indecent exposure in a museum. Oh well.
