Probe of nude photos at museum ongoing

The Palace Museum said on Monday that police are still investigating last month's nude photo shoot at the historic site, but that the museum still encourages artists to visit.

Palace Museum officials said in the statement that it told police immediately about the May 17 photo shoot, which included a nude female model in front of its ancient halls.

The museum also said it "welcomes artists from around the world to visit the Palace Museum and participate in a variety of artistic creation".
