 , historical must-see tour on sexuality over time\\, led by the entertain
 ing Prof. Andrew Lear of OscarWildeTours.\\nThink you know what you're lo
 oking at when you visit The Met? Think again.\\nWhy are the naked men in 
 classical art so… modestly endowed? Why have artists depicted women's b

 an these artistic choices reveal about changing ideas of beauty\\, mascul
 inity\\, sexuality\\, and desire?\\nJoin Prof. Andrew Lear of Oscar Wilde

 ur traces these ideals through centuries of Western art\\, exploring how

 seum tour\\, we'll uncover how sex\\, gender\\, desire\\, and coded sexua
 lity shaped the art we admire—and how a closer look can transform our u

 history\\, cultural ideals\\, and the naked human body.\\nReserve your sp
