Facebook would not allow Geneva's Museum of Art and History to post images publicising its forthcoming “Caesar and the Rhone” exhibition because they contained nudity and, as such, violated its policy. The photos were of two first-century statues: a half-naked Mediterranean and a nude, kneeling man. The museum took to Twitter to criticise Facebook's response and called on the social media site to alter its policy for museums and cultural institutions.
