Have you seen the movie Night at the Museum?// If not, here’s the idea.// In a museum, After the lights go out, statues and paintings come to life.// Of course, it’s impossible.// Or is it?// If you had visited an exhibition called “Super Clone Cultural Properties,” you would have seen something similar to Night at the Museum.// In this exhibition, Edouard Manet’s famous painting of a boy playing the flute—“The Fifer”— came down off the wall as a full-sized 3-D boy.// You could actually touch him.// “The Fifer” is the creation of Professor Miyasako Masaaki of Tokyo University of the Arts.// He makes reproductions of great art.// However, they are much more than mere copies.// Professor Miyasako calls them “clones.”// The 3-D fifer is fun.// But Professor Miyasako has a serious purpose.// The clones do not simply copy the great works as they look today.// In some cases, they recreate the works exactly as they looked when they were first made hundreds of years ago.// Why does Professor Miyasako make “super clones”?// He says his goal is “to build peace through art.”// Let's begin our night at the museum.//
