When I was a kid I remember a field trip to Mission San Luis Obispo with my school. The Mission had a nice little art museum in one of the buildings on site. Run by sweet old Catholic nuns as I recall. I distinctly remember seeing nudity in photographs in the museum. This being the mid 1970s, different times, it was no big deal. Our teacher and our general community were quite conservative and religious, for what that's worth. The nudity in the context of a religious museum was probably something like "the human body is among God's supreme creations" to the curatorial staff ... something healthy like that.

We're all entitled to our modesty and to raise children according to our moral principles. I dislike when people are accused of being "prude" simply because they have some personal standards. On the other hand, I intensely like true prudery, which I see as unnatural body shame and the extension of said shame to others by advocacy or force. To my mind, this sort of reaction to traditional representations of the human form in museums is perverse. Not the nudity, the anger over it. Ideally, beautiful representations of the human form in museums are a healthy educational opportunity, not an assault on childhood.
