Museum Removes Erotic Art

A Swedish museum dedicated to world culture has removed an erotic painting plastered with verses from the Muslim holy book, the Koran, from an exhibition about AIDS after Muslims complained it was obscene. The painting by an Arab artist living in France was replaced by another less offensive one. The painting was removed to prevent public attention shifting from the exhibition's main message about AIDS and globalisation. For the full story - click the title Irish Art
