When are the French displeased at semi-naked women tripping through a picturesque building?
Before you say “never” – Paris’s Musee D’Orsay is threatening legal action against one of France’s leading lingerie manufacturers for a publicity stunt, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Three models waltzed into the museum fully dressed, but lost their garments soon afterwards, running through the halls, filmed all the while by a hand-held amateur camera.
The stunt took place earlier this month. The video went viral on the internet – he museum curators went ballistic, says French newspaper Liberation. Musee D’Orsay communications director Amelie Hardivillier insists the filming was done without permission from the museum, and she would never have allowed it to happen.
The museum’s directors claim the filming didn’t just violate the rules of the Musee D’Orsay, but also the rights of visitors, and threaten to sue lingerie manufacturer Etam if the video is not removed from the internet.
The D’Orsay is one of France’s leading museums, housing Impressionist masterpieces by Monet and Renoir among others.
