Vienna Museums OnlyFans: censorship on Facebook and Tik Tok
For museums, freely promoting their works on social media seems to be more difficult even if we are in the digital age. In particular, the Viennese museums are at the center of the sights. The last episode dates back to last July, when the Tik Tok account of theAlbertina Museum has been blacked out. The reason for the censorship was that he shared photos of the Japanese artist Nobuyoshi Araki, who was thoughtful too risqué. Even earlier a censorship for the same reasons took place on Facebook. Victim was the account of the Leopold Museum that he had to delete the post with the works of the famous Egon Schiele for pornographic content. Obstacles that the Vienna Tourist Board has already faced in 2017 with a censored advertising campaign on the London Underground. This time the institution wanted to respond with an ingenious marketing idea. “We decided to put the world famous ‘explicit’ artworks on OnlyFans”.

Museums Vienna: censorship in London in 2017
The provocative and unconventional response of the Viennese museums should not come as a surprise. A dynamic similarity occurred in 2017 with the clash that took place during an advertising campaign in London. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the artist’s death Egon Schiele, the Vienna Tourist Board had an international advertising campaign to exhibit his works. London had been one of the cities chosen for the campaign. The idea was to exhibit the author’s works in the famous English metro. The transport company refused to exhibit some works because “Too pushed”. Vienna then sent the works back, censoring the “risque” parts, replacing them with writing. “We’re sorry. They are one hundred years old but they are still too bold ”. The answer relies in the metro generated a worldwide interest. The same is true today, but the answer seems to be working.
The Tourist Board stated that after a week the news of the OnlyFans account was very clicked.
