A female student in Paris was reportedly denied entry into one of France's most popular art museums, Musée d'Orsay. The woman was wearing a low-cut dress and was asked by museum security to her to cover up the revealing neckline.
The museum, which is home to several bare-breasted paintings and sculptures, faced an outpour of backlash on social media for the incident that occurred on September 8.
After the woman's letter to the museum went viral on social media, officials have now apologised, saying that they deeply regret this and present sincere excuses to the person involved in a statement on Twitter.
