If you’re looking for a new way to heat things up this winter why not get naked at the Art Institute? We’re not suggesting you show up dishabille, but you are welcome to expose yourself to the museum’s many nude residents with a Naked at the Art Institute Scavenger Hunt.

Watson Adventures hosts this “unblushing look at nudity” on Feb. 14 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. For $41 you’ll “scrutinize bathing beauties, peeping Toms, sultry sirens, a muscle man who’ll ruin his birthday suit while wrestling a lion, a woman enjoying a golden shower from Zeus, cads and cuckolds, provocative Picassos, dangerous natives, a mystic who has gone too far with the Slimfast, and much more.”

Not into going au naturel? Watson Adventures offers several other cultural scavenger hunts in Chicago and six other U.S. cities. Indulge in a gourmet food hunt around Lincoln Park, embark on a science scramble at the Museum of Science & Industry, or explore the Art Institute through the lens of Harry Potter with a wizarding hunt.

There’s often more to art than meets the naked eye, but expertise isn’t a scavenger hunt prerequisite. According to Watson’s website, “ No previous experience with art, or nudity, is required.”

Feb. 14 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tickets $41 are available online.
