From what I've read by people who have gone to nude events at art museums, art museums are kept cool in order to preserve the artwork and it becomes uncomfortable to be naked in that environment quickly. It's probably one of those things that seems like it would be a lot more fun than it ends up being.
If an art gallery has to use a gimmick to get people in to view the art.Then maybe it should display better art.
I don't think it is about the quality of the art as much as it is about bringing in a wider range of clients.

Difficult to say. I doubt if many people who appreciate art would not go to a museum simply because they couldn't be nude. Also for female dancers and models, those with less talent often perform with less or no clothing.
Back in 2013 a small local museum (ESMoA) invited our non-landed club (SCNA) to have a nude event in their museum to compliment their exhibit of nude artwork. We repeated that event in 2015. In addition we've participated at the NudeLA art event mentioned earlier by Mizoka and Doneright (who we got to meet). Every year except the Covid years we've hosted a Scavenger Hunt at the Getty Museum. Unfortunately we can't be nude there, but the hunt is based around answering questions about all the nude artwork in the various pavilions.
Like Mizoka, Doneright, and jaybirds, I've been to the one in Los Angeles, multiple times. And, so folks can find it, the event is actually called Nude Art LA. The website is still active with a 2023 copyright date. nudeartla.com. So, hopefully they will resume events. They began annually, but actually had a couple a year, once they got going. And the organization isn't one particular museum or studio. The events are held in various spaces. Some intimate, with different rooms, some in more of an open plan. Along with the art, they have had artists drawing/painting live models, a space for guests to draw, a catwalk for fashion shows, and so on.
