A consortium of museums in Vienna ended up creating an OnlyFans account so they could post some of their nude artworks.
Why did they decide to do this?
Well, it’s because TikTok banned their accounts for posting nude atworks.
The “Vienna Laid Bare” initiative was launched by Vienna’s tourism board late last week along with its OnlyFans account after their TikTok account got banned.
Helena Hartlauer, a spokesperson for the Vienna Tourism Board, said that museums launched the initiative after the city’s museums had their social media accounts suspended for uploading nude artworks.
Earlier this year, the account of Albertina Museum was banned for posting pictures of the artwork Nobuyoshi Araki made.
TikTok did not release an official statement about the ban.
the Vienna Tourism Board released a statement about the incident, saying:
Vienna and its art institutions are among the casualties of this new wave of prudishness – with nude statues and famous artworks blacklisted under social media guidelines, and repeat offenders even finding their accounts temporarily suspended. That’s why we decided to put the capital’s world-famous ‘explicit’ artworks on OnlyFans. Major social media channels like Instagram and Facebook have nudity and ‘lewd’ content firmly in their sights.
The OnlyFans account is going to feature artists such as Egon Schiele, an Austrian Expressionist painter, and Koloman Moser, a twentieth-century graphic artist.
