Wellesley  College Massachusetts 

All-female Wellesley College Massachusetts is experiencing a rare occurrence, the statue of a nearly-naked man, who has his eyes closed with his arms outstretched in zombie-like trance. The statue is part of an exhibit by sculptor Tony Matelli at the college's Davis Museum.

 See more pictures after the cut.




 Strange: Some students have been scared on seeing the statue - believing it is a real near-naked man

Spooky: After student complained, the museum director said good art was supposed to provoke
