I am a Muslim and I am from the UAE. I personally am not offended by nudes. However, because the UAE is a Muslim country, it would be like provoking the people if they bombard them with images of nudes and such. For a start the museums need to attract people and get them to understand art better. Not all the people who will come are necissarily artists and understand the presence of nudity in art. Let them understand the art first then they might see the difference between a nude and pornography.

The body is sacred, and is created in God’s image- whichever name of God you choose. There is nothing shameful or in any way less than divine about any body. Violence and pornography are offensive, but a nude? Big difference, folks.

The idea of a museum the caliber of the Guggenheim omiting an entire wedge of fine art because of risk of offending is preposterous. Please tell me there are other, grander reasons for the omitions…

Frankly I am more offended my a prestigious museum editing their collection than I ever have been by ANY piece of art.
