German Nudes Fill Museum

One hundred virtually naked women between the ages of 18 and 65 displayed their bodies in a Berlin art gallery on Thursday to prepare for a one-day exhibit on Friday. Wearing only transparent tights, the 100 nearly nude models stood, kneeled or sat down on the floor of the New National Gallery before a small crowd of journalists. Bystanders peered in through windows from outside the building. The women will stand for three hours in a square area in the center of the museum during Friday evening's exhibit. They will not be allowed to talk or look at each other and must remain standing as long as possible. Most of the women responded to a newspaper advert. For the full story - click the title Irish Art
