Bringing 3D, holographic, and voice recognition technology together for the first time, Leonardo da Vinci's 16th century painting of "Mona Lisa" has been brought to life by creators from a South Korean gallery, and the work of modernity is up on display at the "World Classic Interactive Arts Exhibition" in Beijing. Up and geared to interact for the first time, Mona Lisa is ready to answer our questions regarding her age and life, she even waves and talks to the visitors around.

There are about 61 high-tech replicas of these legendary paintings brought to life at the exhibition, the other renowned one is "The Last Supper," wherein Jesus can be seen talking to the apostles and moving across the plasma canvas. Multimedia play by life-size replicas of ancient statues of Greek and Roman gods and goddess is another highlight of the exhibit. According to Reuters, "Mona Lisa acknowledges that many people find her smile mysterious," in case you were wondering about it – but what's behind the Mona Lisa's smile, I think the digital painting also hasn’t answered.
