Chatting with the Mona Lisa in South Korea

A South Korean art gallery has developed technology that allows masterpieces like the Mona Lisa to interact with students. The iconic and enigmatic figure at the Alive Gallery in Seoul talks to visitors about life during the Renaissance period, a feat brought about by the use of digital information technology.

Visitors, especially kids enjoy the chance to interact with famous works of art and ask them questions, gallery officials say. It’s a change from the paintings and their “boring explanations.”
