Pornhub launches its museum guides, presented by Cicciolina, and featuring explicit videos

Who said porn and museums can’t get along? Pornhub, the major international porn site, evidently doesn’t think so because it has just launched a series of guides to the world’s great museums to discover, of course, the nudes they preserve. The project, titled Pornhub Classic Nudes and accessible at phclassicnudes.com, offers six guides to as many museums: the Uffizi in Florence, the Prado in Madrid, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Metropolitan in New York and the National Gallery in London. For each museum, Pornhub provides a map of the institution where the nude works are marked, and it is possible to click and listen to an audio guide (for the moment only in English) that describes the features of the painting.

What is interesting is that in addition to the great masterpieces, there are also works that are anything but obvious. For the Uffizi, for example, the Pornhub guide features four works from the Pitti Palace (Giovanni Bilivert’s Ariadne, Angelica hides from Ruggiero from 1624, Francesco Furini’s Painting and Poetry dle 1626, and the Aphrodite of Cnidus) and twelve works from the Gallery of Paintings and Statues (theApoxyomenos, Botticelli’s Venus and Spring, Botticelli’s Roman Marble of the Wrestlers, Alessandro Allori’s Hercules Crowned by the Muses, Poppi’s Three Graces, Jacopo Ligozzi’s Fortuna, Giuseppe Maria Crespi’s Amore and Psyche, Titian’s Venus of Urbino, Cecco Bravo’sArmida, Bartolomeo Ammannati’s Mars Gradivo, and Caravaggio’s Bacchus ). And works that are anything but famous are illustrated for other museums as well.

Not only that: there are also video guides where the MySweetApple amateur couple recreates the most iconic works in the museums. We see the girl, for example, posing as the Venus of Urbino (complete with her hand insinuated between her thighs, only in the video she moves it: Pornhub therefore gives its own interpretation to the gesture of the goddess of love painted by Titian), or in those of Courbet’sOrigine du monde, where the... next moment.

“Some people think museums are boring, stuffy or monotonous,” reads the project’s introduction. "But what if we told you that they house priceless collections of porn? Welcome to Classic Nudes, Pornhub’s interactive guide to some of history’s sexiest scenes in the world’s most famous museums. Join us as we visit the most respected institutions of Western art and guide you past all the pure paintings and straight to the best: depictions of the nude body in all its artistic glory. Because porn might not be considered art, but some works of art can definitely be considered porn.

And who could launch Pornhub’s guides but the most artistic of porn stars, namely Cicciolina, born Ilona Staller? All art aficionados remember her in the Made in Heaven series of photographs taken in the company of then-husband Jeff Koons, and today the Hungarian actress lends her face and body to launch Pornhub’s Classic Nudes with a dedicated video. “For years you’ve been told to go to museums, to enjoy every single brushstroke,” Ilona Staller says in the video. “You, however, never listened to those who told you, so today I’m going to tell you a little secret: much of the best porn of all time is not on Pornhub, but can be found inside a museum!”

In short, new frontiers of museum marketing? A model that will work and lead porn lovers to visit more museums? A project that will expand and involve other museums as well? For now, let’s enjoy (it really has to be said) these guides!
