Mucem exhibition explores France as naturist paradise

The 'Naturist Paradise' exhibition at Mucem in Marseille runs until December 9, 2024, highlighting France’s top spot in naturist tourism. It features over 600 pieces like photos, films, magazines, and artworks from both public and private collections in France and Switzerland. Curated by a team including Bernard Andrieu and Jean-Pierre Blanc, the exhibit delves into the origins of nudism linked to early 20th-century anarchist movements in France and Germany, along with themes like ecology and yoga. It also explores the historical and legal aspects that keep naturist communities thriving in France, where public nudity is restricted. Visitors can attend nude on certain days, thanks to a partnership with the Fédération Française de Naturisme.
