A Parisian museum created an event for nudists to get rid of their “complexes” with appearing naked, according to a report by The Associated Press Sunday.

The Palais de Tokyo permitted a nudist community in France an exclusive opportunity to tour the contemporary art museum exhibit called “Discord” Saturday, The Associated Press reported. The organizers are trying to create different events that are not “limited to beaches, summertime or a certain category of the population.” The nudist community claims they are trying to attract younger members to their clothes-free events. The nudist community calls itself “naturists” and has about 88,000 members in Paris, according to Reuters.

“The naturists’ way of life of is to be naked. Culture is part of our daily life, and this is a special opportunity,” Julien Claude-Penegry, the communications director of the Paris Naturists Association, told Reuters. There were 160 “naturists” at the event.

Paris also has a nudist area in the Bois de Vincennes park and restaurant. The nudist community is planning a naturist clubbing event set for 2018.
