Picasso Works Relocated to Women's Restroom Following Gender Discrimination Ruling

Tasmania's MONA museum moves paintings after court mandates gender-inclusive access to 'Ladies Lounge' exhibit.

  • The 'Ladies Lounge' exhibit, featuring works by Picasso, was originally exclusive to women.
  • A male visitor's discrimination complaint led to the exhibit's closure and subsequent court ruling.
  • Artist Kirsha Kaechele relocated the artworks to a women's restroom as a form of protest.
  • The museum plans to appeal the decision and explore legal loopholes for reopening the exhibit.
  • The 'Ladies Lounge' was inspired by historical gender exclusions in social spaces.
