Oscar Wilde Tomb is All Clean [PHOTOS]
The tomb of Irish writer Oscar Wilde is no longer a place to lay kisses.
The cleaned and renovated tomb, located in Paris, was unveiled Wednesday. A glass wall has been erected around the tomb in an effort to keep it in tip-top condition.
Wilde was imprisoned for homosexuality and lost his fame and reputation by the time he was released.
Ironically, he fell to a fate similar to one mentioned in his famous play The Importance of Being Earnest. The play's protagonist tells people that his brother died in Paris due to a chill. Wilde died in Paris -- broke and severely ill -- in 1900.
Here are photos of the renovated tomb.
