This website shows child and adult nudity, that is why it is Rated M15+ Mature. The child nudity is not pornographic/photographic, they are art drawings and are used as a means of reporting child abuse.


Very brief synopsis

This exhibition is in regards to alledged child abuse in photographic art.

An article from Wiley OnLine Library 

The involvement or portrayal of naked children in works of art introduces another dimension – our duty to protect children from exploitation. In the National Gallery in London, a 16th-century painting by Angelo Bronzino shows a naked boy, bottom protruding, fingering his mother's nipple while they kiss.. Images of child abuse are proscribed on the Internet and elsewhere. Bronzino's masterpiece would mandate an immediate phone call to child protection authorities if the characters were real. But the characters are Cupid, the Roman god of erotic love and beauty (cupido means ‘desire’), and his mother Venus, goddess of love. The painting is clearly sexually explicit but is not considered pornographic. On the contrary, it is considered an allegorical masterpiece, displayed in a free public art gallery for any child or adult to see. //My take on this: involves consent. Can a child give informed concent in regards to being photographed naked?
