Museum opens nudist exhibit — for visitors who also go full-frontal: ‘It’s not so strange’

They went from oui oui to wee-wee.

A gorgeous coastal city in France is baring all with a museum exhibit on nudity — which guests can view in the buff themselves, according to The Guardian.

The exposition was “only natural” to flash full-frontal guests at the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations Marseille, the organization announced.

Its recent unveiling, which costs brave visitors just $12 and change, saw 80-some visitors put themselves on full display in the curtain-covered room.

“Anyone wanting to visit fully dressed during those hours might be considered a little odd,” a museum spokesperson cheekily said.

“In recent years, a new craze for nudity in nature has arisen … Today, France is the world’s leading tourist destination for naturists: its temperate climate and three seas have facilitated the establishment of real communities,” the museum website reads.

One of France’s most famous nude beach towns — Cagnes-sur-Mer, located between Cannes and Nice — was hilariously poked fun at for perverts trying to glimpse naked women in the 2004 slapstick comedy “Eurotrip.”

Now, the centuries-long culture of nudity — or naturism, as it’s called — is on display via 600 photos, videos and “everyday objects” within the “Naturist Paradises” exhibitionist exhibit.

Only shoes are required — simply as a way to “avoid getting splinters,” Eric Stefanut, of France’s FFN naturist organization, told The Guardian.

One UK visitor who stripped down, 28-year-old Kieren Parker-Hall, told the Guardian that checking out the show was a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He especially appreciated that the stigma around nudity was much less in France than across the channel.

“Being naked in England is seen as something a bit bizarre, shameful,” he said, before seemingly referencing his home country’s less-than-inviting climate. “It’s cold.”

Another museum-goer, Julie Guegnolle, 38, fancied a stroll around the exhibit on her birthday — and in her birthday suit.

“It’s not every day you get to walk around a museum naked,” she told France24. “When we arrived, we felt a bit lost, but it’s not so strange.”
