However, when the vase was put on display, the museum received a number of complaints. These complaints were caused by the fact that the vase depicted scenes of both heterosexual and homosexual sex. The museum is concerned about the legal implications of the display of the vase. Advise the museum as to whether the vase might be considered in law to be obscene and, if so, whether they can rely on the defence contained in s.4 of the Obscene Publications Act 1959.
