FAKING IT

You probably didn’t know you could find one of Michelangelo’s frescoes from the Sistine Chapel or Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” in a museum in Naruto, Japan. The priceless pieces are among 1,074 artworks from 190 museums that have been reproduced for the new Otsuka Museum of Art, the world’s first “ceramic archive.” Why would you want to spend your time looking at a fake? For one thing, the works can be displayed under bright lights, revealing details that could never be seen in a traditional museum. – Daily Yomiuri (Japan)
