(Re)Discover the Mona Lisa in a RV. Louvre Museum

Do you have a VR HTC headset at home? Then you can go through VIVEPORT to access the service. It will also be available on other VR platforms, by the way. Yes, you read it right, you don't even need to go to Paris! There are still many doubters when it comes to VR, but some application areas, such as medicine or access to culture, deserve to be highlighted in order to show that virtual reality is not just about video games.

The Leonardo da Vinci exhibition will be open to the public from 24 October 2019 to 24 February 2020 at the Hall Napoléon.
