AN unusual – and possibly rather chilly – trip to Dorset Museum is taking place on September 17 that will see visitors taking in the raft of exhibits and information while completely naked.

The event, on September 17, will see people able to shed their clothes to take in everything from the history of Dorset’s geology to the poetry of Thomas Hardy, in the buff.

A spokesperson for British Naturism (BN) said: “This is an amazing opportunity to enjoy a private viewing of the museum naked.

“The museum is situated right in the centre of Dorchester where there are many wonderful eateries to tempt you and keep you sustained after your visit.”

Tickets are available for £16 to BN members, or £20 for non-members and includes a glass of wine or other drink on arrival, as well as vital changing facilities including a locker, and entry to the galleries.
