On this #MuseumMonday at the #PenisMuseum we return to the theme of contrapposto. #NSFWbSFMG (not safe for work but safe for museum galleries) This must be artistic nudity because it is literally fine art.

Gustav Klimt, Sitting Nude Man Turned to the Left (Sitzender Männer nacht links), 1883 Can't do Vienna without Klimt, right? The title pretty much describes this one. Academic nude during Klimt's days as an art student.

Egon Schiele, Seated Male Nude (Self-Portrait) (Sitzender Männerakt (Selbstdarstellung)), 1910 Schiele liked to use himself as a model for his male nudes. He died in the 1917/18 flu pandemic.

Koloman Moser, Spring (Früling), about 1913. A young naked man descends from a cloud to a verdant landscape. This image is so shocking that the Leopold Museum sells it as a magnet.

Anton Kolig, Youth and Cupid (Jüngling mit Amor), 1911 A young naked man stands with a winged cherub.

It's #MuseumMonday and time to return to the Penis Museum (I need to be better about this). We continue with the Vienna Wing and cocks that are out on display in museums. #NSFWBSFMG (Not Safe For Work But Safe For Museum Galleries)

When we think of Edvard Munch, we think of The Scream, but I don't see anyone screaming in Men on the Seashore (1908). Two men face the viewer, their penises between their legs, while. third plays in the water. Belvedere Museum, Vienna, Austria.

Kolman Moser, Youth Standing between Two Rocks (1915). Well muscled naked man standing between two rocks. Belvedere Museum, Vienna, Austria.

Anton Kolig, Kneeling Narcissus (1920). A nude male knees on the bank of a pond, staring at his reflection in the water. Belvedere Museum, Vienna, Austria.

It's #MuseumMonday and I've decided to restart The Penis Museum, my fantasy of what I would display if I had unlimited resources and could borrow great works of art from museums around the world, all on the theme of naked men.

We're going to start with the Vienna Wing. #NSFWbSFMG

Féral Benga (1936/7), bronze by Richmond Barthé. Shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, piece owned by the Museum of Fine Ars, Boston. The bronze shows a naked Black man holding a scimitar. François Benga was a French danger who performed under the name "Féral."

Greek red-figure pottery showing a man with his right hand on his hip. He has a cloak draped over his left arm. He holds a staff in his left hand. He is looking at a short column (stele? plinth?).

Renaissance bronze of Saint Sebastian by Alessandro Vittoria, 1566. Saint Sebastian is typically shown pierced by arrows, but in this sculpture, he's simply seems to be twisting to show his body off to his best advantage.

Marcantonio Pasqualini Crowned by Apollo, 1641, painting by Andrea Sacchi. Apollo (central figure, nude) is shown crowning Pasqualini, a celebrated castrato (if you need to look it up, you might not want to). In the background,, is the satyr Marsyas, who has lost a musical contest to Apollo.

I'm opening the Penis Museum on Bluesky. I go to a lot of museums and I photograph the nude males. It's not dirty if it's art! I'm celebrating the male form. This is going to be Not Safe for Work but Safe for Museum Galleries. #NSFWbSFMG #PenisMuseum #MuseumMonday

Today's pics were taken at the Met
