Earlier, the director of the State Hermitage Museum Mikhail Piotrovsky said that the museum had received an official complaint about the negative impact of nude sculptures on underage visitors.

"We have a very large interactivity - they write to us a lot, they complain about us a lot and sometimes very aggressively. But there are important proposals and requirements that must be borne in mind for the future. Once I laughed when we were told: collect all your nude sculptures ... in one room and hang a sign "18+" so that our children do not corrupt. (But) this is already an official complaint that came to us from the official bodies, and we are responding to it, "he told reporters.
