Exhibition "The Naked Man in Art from the 18th Century to the Present" Exhibited at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris
A visitor to the famous Musée d’Orsay in Paris, which contains a variety of works of art by naked women, reacted angrily after ordering her to cover her cleavage with a jacket before entering the place.
Jin, a 22-year-old student, arrived at the famous Musée d'Orsay with her friend and to her surprise was barred from entering the museum on the grounds that her dress was "too provocative".
She did not believe the magnitude of the irony when she was stopped at the entrance to a museum displaying women's nudity - because of her cleavage.
She later published a post in which she came out against the "double standards" of the museum.
"Today I was a victim, in front of everyone, of sexual discrimination based on my body type and the clothes I wore at the entrance to the National Museum d'Orsay. Inside: paintings of naked women, statues of naked women," she wrote in the post.
Gene said the male staff surrounded her as she stood in line for checkouts on a particularly hot day - and everyone was staring at her breasts.
She added: "I am not just my breasts, I am not just a body, your double standards should not be an obstacle to my right to access and consume culture and knowledge."
Jean was photographed with the "provocative" dress in the hotel she was staying in, just before she arrived at the museum.
"There was no problem with that," she said, adding: 'I wore it all summer.
It's a beautiful dress and I feel good in it. "

It's not respectable to enter a museum like that
They really exaggerated
Jin and her friend arrived around 4pm at D’Orsay, which serves as a home for art treasures, including the world’s largest collection of Impressionist masterpieces.
"When I arrived at the museum, I did not even have time to take out my card, as my breasts surprised the clerk in charge of the orders," Jin wrote.
She added: "He and the rest of the staff there stared at my breasts quite clearly. I stood in front of a circle of people who judged me just because of what I wore."
Jin was particularly angry because her friend was wearing a shirt that exposed a navel - but that did not bother them.
She was shocked when one of the staff members told her she claimed: "Put on your jacket and then I'll put you in. Inside the museum do what you want, take off your jacket if you want. I understand you, but those are the rules."
Jin did not believe such rules existed, but wore her jacket anyway to prevent a commotion.
Musieron d'Orsay issued a press release on Wednesday stating that "the museum regrets this case".
In the statement, they also apologized to Jin and claimed that they had talked to the official about his behavior.
