The nude museum visits are being organized in partnership with the French Naturist Federation, or FFN.
Naturist Paradises features hundreds of pieces of art from naturist communities, including paintings, sculptures, photographs and films.
"It was only natural for the Mucem, a social museum based in Marseilles, a Mediterranean city around which several major naturist centers have sprung up, to explore this singular and unifying social phenomenon that is naturism, (or rather naturisms, because there are different types)," the museum's website states.
FFN official Eric Stefanut said the museum's nude visitors will still be required to wear shoes inside the exhibit.
"It's to avoid getting splinters," he told The Guardian.
The Naturist Paradises exhibit at the museum runs through Dec. 9. The next nude tour is scheduled for Sept. 3.
