OVERVIEW

Opening at the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum on June 29, 2012, the “Uffizi Virtual Museum” is a special exhibition featuring ten digitally replicated masterpieces of the Renaissance, including Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, from the peerless collection of the world-renowned Uffizi Gallery of Italy. The works can be seen in two formats: as life-sized printouts using ink-jet techniques so sophisticated that only trained experts can tell that they are reproductions, or on 47-inch touchscreen displays that viewers can manipulate to reveal incredible detail. No exhibition of this kind has ever been held in Japan before.
