An art exhibition featuring works by Pablo Picasso was forced to close due to excluding male visitors. Now, the paintings have found a new location: in the ladies' toilet, writes The Guardian.

Artist Kirsha Kaechele created the exhibition "Ladies lounge" at the Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania with the intention of showcasing men's feelings of exclusion. When the exhibition opened in 2020, female visitors were pampered by male butlers serving champagne.

However, after a man was denied entry to the exhibition in 2023, the museum was given 28 days in April to stop denying entry based on gender. Since then, the exhibition has been closed.

On Monday, the artist, who is also the wife of museum owner David Walsh, posted a video on social media explaining that the museum had reopened – in the ladies' toilet. At least two of Picasso's works are now hanging there instead.

Kaechele was overjoyed when the case reached court in 2023.

Men's experience of exclusion is the artwork, she said then.
