Who sees what
Museums give their works no age ratings, so each one is placed from what its museum says about it: its title, subject terms and description of the picture. Nothing a museum makes public is left out for nudity; explicit sexual content (erotica, shunga) is not listed at all.
| Little Ones | Gentle pictures of animals, flowers, landscapes, the sea, still life and children's book illustration, with nothing dark or frightening. |
|---|---|
| Kids | Works whose subjects are plainly safe: nature, places, still life, the night sky, winter, maps, ornament, children's books; no people, faith, myth or history among them. |
| Tweens | Portraits, everyday life, faith, music and dress, and objects, when nothing else holds them back. |
| Teens | Everything we cannot tell about, myths and history, war and soldiers, the Crucifixion, death, hunting, drink and tobacco. |
| Adult | Nudity (classical nudes included), violence and gore (battles, martyrdoms, executions, anatomy), and racist caricature. |
The slideshow keeps to works for teens and younger unless an adult profile asks for everything.
