<p>An orgy of half naked women in leather awaits visitors to one Vienna museum, at last when the sun goes down.</p>
<p>And some were shocked by the exhibits in the apparently-normal museum. There’s a mirrored area, a gynecologist’s chair and a sado-masochism room!</p>
<div id="attachment_404" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://blog.arthou.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/110.jpg"><img src="http://blog.arthou.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/110-300x225.jpg" alt="Two women kiss on a gynaecologist’s chair." title="Two women kiss on a gynaecologist’s chair." width="300" height="225" class="size-medium wp-image-404" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Two women kiss on a gynaecologist’s chair.</p></div>
<p>IS IT A MUSEUM OR A NIGHTCLUB?</p>
<p>Visitors to Vienna’s <a href="http://www.secession.at/e.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Secession Museum</a> are confronted by the unusual exhibit in the evenings. The lights go out in the exhibition areas and the place turns into a cesspool of lust.</p>
<p>There is group sex in the middle of the museum with painted women in leather. Some have more on, others wear high heels and G-strings.</p>
<p>One couple amuse each other in one corner, while a girl is kissed in a gynaecologist’s chair on the opposite side if the room.</p>
<p>‘The Association of Sociable Revellers’ moved in on February 20 – and they display sex in a very special way.</p>
<p>It is allegedly a cultural project from <a href="http://www.arThou.com/" class="seo">artist</a> Christoph Büchel.</p>
<p>The Swiss has set up a swinger’s club for €90,000 in the same museum which displays the famous piece of art ‘Beethoven Frieze’ by Gustav Klimt.</p>
<p>It is supported with a cultural donation of over €10,000 from the Swiss public foundation Pro Helvetia.</p>
<p>Although the swingers&#8217; club room is only open to adults during the day, politicians are up in arms.</p>
<p>Councilor Ursula Stenzel, who gave the project her blessing, is now less pleased: “I signed the approval only under massive protest. It was always spoken of as an <a href="http://www.arThou.com/arT-projecTs/" class="seo">art project</a> with a nightclub, but never as a swingers&#8217; club.</p>
<p>&#8220;That is monstrous.”</p>
<p>She described the project as a misuse of taxpayer’s money, as it has apparently been subsided by the state.</p>
<p>Gabi Högler, one of the club’s managers, doesn’t understand the complaints: “We want to give as many people as possible the opportunity to overcome their inhibitions and we want to offer the possibility for them to simply watch a swinger’s club for themselves.&#8221;</p>
