A photographic exhibition in Sydney of naked 12 and 13-year-old children, closed by police
     Only hours before its opening night, has sparked a heated debate over whether adolescent nudity is art or pornography.
     Police closed the exhibition by Australian photographer Bill Henson which features photographs of naked children, saying   they were investigating its legality.
    The show includes large photographic prints of topless girls.
    "I think they're revolting. Kids deserve to have the innocence of their childhood protected," Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd told local television on Friday.
    In media interviews ahead of the exhibition, Henson said he left interpretation of the images to audiences.
    "You can't control the way individuals respond to the work," he said, saying he photographed adolescents because they reflected a humanity and vulnerability.
    Artists and gallery patrons, some of whom were turned away from the gallery on Thursday night, said the shutdown of the photographic exhibition was censorship of art.
