[Reuters] | Vienna's Leopold Museum offered free
entry on Friday to anybody who came in swim suits or naked, in response to a
summer heat wave with temperatures in the 30s (90s Fahrenheit).
The museum said about 300 women and men in bikinis or bathing trunks, and 10
in their birthday suits, showed up as of midday to tour the exhibit "The Naked
Truth" of nudes and other paintings that scandalised Vienna at the turn of the
20th century.
"The atmosphere is fun. The other visitors are amused
and there have been no negative reactions," museum spokeswoman Verena Dahlitz
said.
