Picture preview: A Moving Masterpiece

China's Mona Lisa animated for blockbuster show

The Moving Masterpiece exhibition is a 128m by 6.5m animated reproduction of the painting Qing Ming Shang He Tu - a national treasure painted by Song artist Zhang Zeduan in 11th Century. Over 30 times bigger than the original, the installation was the star attraction of the China Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo in 2010 and has now toured Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau, Taipei and Tai-Chung attracting over 10 million people.
