From The Birth of Venus to the statue of David, many of the world's most recognisable works of art depict nude people.
But despite being works of art, nude statues and paintings are often mistaken by social media algorithms as real people, meaning they're blocked or censored.
Now, the Vienna Tourist Board has taken matters into its own hands, launching a page on OnlyFans to display the nude statues and paintings featured in the Leopold Museum, Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna and Naturhistorisches Museum Vienna and Albertina.
'Vienna and its art institutions are among the casualties of this new wave of prudishness – with nude statues and famous artworks blacklisted under social media guidelines, and repeat offenders even finding their accounts temporarily suspended,' it explained.
'That's why we decided to put the capital's world-famous "explicit" artworks on OnlyFans.'
