"Imagine not knowing what Mona Lisa's smile looks like? Or Van Gogh's sunflowers? Imagine you heard people talking about them and knew they existed, but could never experience them for yourself. For the millions of people who are blind, that's a reality."



Unseen Art, working out of Finland, have recently launched their Indiegogo campaign. Their impassioned belief is that 3D technology contains the power to finally let the blind experience some of history's greatest works of art.



A video showing a participant experiencing Leonardo da Vinci's iconic Mona Lisa for the first time is currently a key part of Unseen Art's fundraiser, opening a window to an appreciation of great works that so many now simply take for granted. As the volunteer's fingers brush over the sculptured features of the classic figure, she exclaims: "It's the expression that's the most mysterious here. It's a little bit enigmatic. My fingers are excited."
