Interactive technology has brought the Mona Lisa to life - and Leonardo da Vinci's enigmatic 16th Century portrait now speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese.

A digital version of the work is the star attraction in a new exhibition of classic artworks recreated in multimedia form in Beijing.

Exhibition organiser Wang Hui spent two years preparing the collection.

He says it is the first time 3D, holographic and voice recognition technologies have been fused like this.
