In just one day, tickets for three nude tours of James Turrell's retrospective at the National Gallery of Australia were completely sold out. Scheduled for April 1 and 2, these tours are available for $30 and are limited to individuals aged 18 and older. Leading the tours is artist Stuart Ringholt, who has previously offered similar nude experiences at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art and Tasmania's MONA.
