Poland's national museum on Thursday launched an exhibition of homosexual art ranging from ancient Greece to contemporary works, hailing it as a first for the strongly Catholic country."Warsaw is the first city in this part of Europe to organise this kind of exhibition," museum director Piotr Piotrowski said at the opening of the show, titled "Ars Homo Erotica"."It is a unique event to show a subject of this kind in an ultra-Catholic and conservative country like Poland," added Jack Lohman, president of the museum's governing council.
