We’ve all seen the enigma that is Mona Lisa’s smile.

Except that we haven’t.

According to the Royal National Institute of Blind People almost two million people in the UK are living with sight loss.

That’s two million people who have heard others talk about the famous painting, but never experienced it for themselves.

Unseen Art is hoping to change that by recreating iconic works of art in 3D.

They’re bringing together 3D artists to create classical works of art that blind people will be able to touch, feel and experience for the first time.
