Art Gallery Is Forced To Remove ‘Obscene’ Victorian Photos Of Naked Women From 'Romance' Exhibition

An art gallery was forced to remove 'absolutely disgusting and obscene' Victorian art from an exhibition after receiving a spate of complaints.
 
The six photographs, depicting nude and partially clothed women, are thought to date from the mid 19th Century and formed part of the 'Romance' exhibition running to coincide with Valentine's Day at The Cube Gallery in the South Downs Heritage Centre in Hassocks, West Sussex.

But the photos were spotted by three women, aged between 60 and 80, who were outraged by the works - and demanded they be taken down.

Among the black-and-white photographs is a picture of three naked ladies holding hands and dancing, another photo shows a lady wearing stockings and facing away from the camera with a bare bottom while a third shows a naked woman sitting on a plinth.
