Museums with Virtual Renditions

This quote from City News, a Canadian news service:

"Imagine asking the Mona Lisa a question, and instead of La Giaconda's enigmatic smile staring back at you, she answered.

That's what's in store at the Alive-Gallery in South Korea, where, if looking isn't enough, visitors can interact with priceless works of art.

The pieces, ranging from The Last Supper to The Last Judgment, aren't on loan - the gallery has virtual renditions of the world-famous works.

It's been a big hit with school groups."

I'll bet. My own kids each have around 40 avatars each by this stage and are very comfortable with a SIMS type reality, love the Miis on Wii and are stone dead jealous of my own activities in Second Life.
