Nude photos in museum breach public morals

A recent photo shoot of a nude female model inside the Palace Museum in Beijing was officially denounced for breaching moral boundaries by the museum, as well as showing disrespect to the nation's cultural heritage. Comments:

There should be little doubt about the boundaries between erotic pictures and real art, yet they are being blurred by some self-proclaimed "pioneering" artists who seek controversy. One thing is clear, unapproved public nudity at heritage sites should not be taken lightly, because it deals a blow to both the cultural environment and the image of the sites.
