Museum hosts naked evening event

The Dorset Museum & Art Gallery is hosting a private event where naturists can view its collections while naked.

Organised by British Naturists and open to both members and non-members, the evening event on 17 September is priced between £16 and £20, which includes a beverage on arrival, changing facilities and a locker for clothes. A standard adult entry to the museum is £14.

With a collection including the archive of novelist Thomas Hardy and exhibitions covering art, archaeology, history and the natural world, Dorset Museum & Art Gallery is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation as part of Wessex Museums Trust. Following a £16.4m overhaul lasting over two years, it reopened in 2021.
